[A]Tough, you [G]think you've got the stuff
You're [F#m]telling me and [D]anyone
You're [A]hard enough
You [A]don't have to put up a fight
You [G]don't have to always be right
[F#m]Let me take some of the [D]punches
For [A]you tonight

[Pre Chorus]
[D]Listen to me [A]now
I need to let you [F#m]know
You don't have to go it a[D]lone

[Chorus]
And it's [F#m]you when I look in the mir[E]ror
And it's [D]you when I don't pick up the [D]phone
[F#m]Sometimes you can't [E]make it on your [D]own

[---]
We [A]fight all the [G]time
You and [F#m]I... that's al[D]right
We're the [A]same soul
I don't [A]need... I don't [G]need to hear you say
That if we [F#m]weren't so a[D]like
You'd like me a [A]whole lot more

[Pre Chorus]
[D]Listen to me [A]now
I need to let you [F#m]know
You don't have to go it a[D]lone

[Chorus]
And it's [F#m]you when I look in the mir[E]ror
And it's [D]you when I don't pick up the [D]phone
[F#m]Sometimes you can't [E]make it on your [D]own

[---]
[F -> C -> Dm]
I know that we don't talk
[F -> C -> Am]
I'm sick of it all
[F -> C -> Dm] A
Can you hear me when I Sing,
you're [F#m]the reason I sing
[D]You're the reason [E]why the [A]opera is in me

[Pre Chorus]
Yeah, [D]hey now
Still got to let you [A]know
A house still doesn't make a [F#m]home
Don't leave me here a[D]lone

[Chorus]
And it's [F#m]you when I look in the mir[E]ror
And it's [D]you that makes it hard to let [D]go
[F#m]Sometimes you can't [E]make it on your [D]own
[F#m]Sometimes you can't [E]make it
The best you [D]can do is to fake it
[F#m]Sometimes you can't [E]make it o[D]n your own

[Notes]
I noticed the chords tabs for this song on UG were slightly incorrect, so I made this to
appease my OCD. I cannot vouch for electric, but this tab sounds really good on an
acoustic guitar. I highly suggest you do not follow this tab 100%. Use it as a guide,
but improvise with different chord placements, hammer ons and rhythm effects to make it your
own. If you need any help, don't be afraid to email me from my website [ytalwar.com].
Happy playing!
