CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
C G F G C G F G
[Verse 1]
C G
Seems it was just awhile ago
C F
All of my friends and I
C Dm7
Went to each others weddings
F G
And stood by each others side
C F G C F G
And became brides
[Verse 2]
C G
Talking on the phone to Kurt today
C F
He said that he and Liz were through
C Dm7
And by the way that things have been going
F Am
He could tell if they were overdue
[Verse 3]
Em Am
For every other married pair of us
Em Am
That already split in two
Dm7 F
Each of us living our own lives alone
Am Dm7
Or sleeping with someone new
F
Ain't it true
[Chorus]
C G Dm7
These are hard times for lovers
Am G Dm7
Everyone wants to be free
C G Dm7
Ain't these hard times for lovers
Am G F Am F
Everyone singing, I gotta be me___
C F G C F
Without you
[Verse 4]
G C G
Now, honey, I'm supposed to tell you
C F
I've got to live for today
C Dm7
And don't you know it is my lifetime
F Am
I've got to live it my own way
[Verse 5]
Em Am
But lately, I can't help thinking
Em Am
I reap what I sow
Dm7 F
For all of my holy freedom
Am Dm7
What have I got to show
F
I don't know
[Chorus]
C G Dm7
These are hard times for lovers
Am G Dm7
Everyone wants to be free
C G Dm7
Ain't these hard times for lovers
Am G F Am F
Everyone singing, I gotta be me___
C F G C F
Without you
[Verse 6]
Em Am
But lately, I can't help thinking
Em Am
I reap what I sow
Dm7 F
For all of my holy freedom
Am Dm7
What have I got to show
F
I don't know
[Chorus]
C G Dm7
These are hard times for lovers
Am G Dm7
Everyone wants to be free
C G Dm7
Ain't these hard times for lovers
Am G F Am F
Everyone singing, I gotta be me___

Without you
[Chorus] (fade to end)

Everyone wants to be free

Ain't these hard times for lovers
