Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I don't usually take chances

Most would easily agree

Something in your eyes

Is saying you can ease my heartache

I have a burden in sight

And I know you're just a stranger

If you cannot understand

There's too many times

I've lost my chance to talk with an angel

Too many to count

Chorus

And life's so hard

It's the little things that seem to be getting me today,

yeah Life's so hard

But I'm doing what I can to not to be getting down

I'm going down in flames

Going down in flames

Intro into second verse

I would tell you I am happy

If I wasn't so damn sad

And the loneliness both overwhelms and keeps me empty

That's how it's been for a while

Chorus

And life's so hard

It's the little things that seem to be getting me today,

yeah Life's so hard

But I'm doing what I can to not to be getting down

I'm going down in flames

Going down in flames

I need some direction

I need someone to listen

Someone to tell me that they know

That life's so hard

It's the little things that seem to be saving me today,

yeah Life's so hard

And I'm doing what I can

Oh, yeah, I'm doing what I can

Hey, I'm doing what I can

Putting out yeah

Putting out the in flames
