[Verse 1]
E D
Lost a good friend the other day
G C
Like a fool, I was blind to the signs
E D
Drank right past what he had to say
G C
I couldn’t read between the lines
Em D
Last night I saw him, he pulled me close
G C
Laughed as he hugged me goodbye
E D
He said “the mornings, my friend, yeah they’re okay
G C E
But the nights are hard-er these days”
[Verse 2]
E D
Who will come to your dreams tonight?
G C
Some old flame you didn’t treat quite right
E D
Like a ghost, she sits upon your bed
G C
Familiar ringing in your head, and she says
Em D
“You got some pipers you got to pay, love
G C E
So your nights are hard-er these days”
G C E
Yeah the nights are hard-er these days
[Chorus]
C D
Watching the numbers change
E
The minutes fading away, I can’t remember the feeling
C A E
When my chest wasn’t crushed by the weight

Yeah the nights are hard-er these days

E D
Monday morning dawn’s early light
G C
Trucks sweep up yesterday’s news
E D
They don’t know wrong from right
G C
Just making way for tomorrow’s blues
Em D
I lay awake and count the ways
G D
That the nights are hard-er
[Chorus]
C D
Watching the numbers change
E
The minutes fading away, I can’t remember the feeling
C A E
When my chest wasn’t crushed by the weight
G D E
Yeah the nights are hard-er these days
G C
Yeah the nights are hard-er
