Verse 1
(B major) She's a (B minor) hard girl to (C major) know (C sharpdim)
(E minor) Just (B major) when you think that you've
read (E minor) her mind (G major)
She'll (F sharp major) sabotage (A sharpdim) you, (F sharp major) leave (B minor) you blind
And the (C sharpdim) world turns on its head
She's a hard girl to know
Just (G major) when you think
she's half (E minor) way sane
She'll (D minor) resurrect some more (E flat major) campaign
And (A flat major) turn on you (A flatdim) instead (A minor)
But (C major) then she'll do
something just for (D minor) you (B flat major)
So (C major) out -and -out loving,
so out -and -out (D minor) true
(B flat major) The beauty (G minor) scares you (C minor) half to death (A flat major)
It (C minor) takes away dark and doubt (F major) and breath
And she (A sharp major) turns (F sharp major) back into that girl, (C sharp major) your girl
(B major) And the (A sharp minor) smell of her perfume,
(B major) (F sharp major) perfumes the world
(B major) She's (B minor) a hard girl to (C sharpdim) know
Chase (B major) her, she's gone like
a (E minor) wind off the wisp (G major)
And (F sharp major) that old sadness (B flatdim) is
(F sharp major) hard (B minor) to resist
And the (E minor) world's dark (C sharpdim) as a cave
She's a hard girl to know
You (G major) can't ask her the questions,
it (E minor) is n't much use
There's no (D minor) explanation,
there'll (D sharp major) be no excuse
And you (G sharp major) feel used (G sharpdim) up like (G sharp major) a (A minor) sled
But (C major) then you notice the tear
(F major) in the wing (A sharp major) s
Shift (A sharp minor) (C major) ing the scenery, pulling (F major) the (B flat major) strings
And you see (G minor) that mountain
you (C minor) had to climb
(A flat major) That you did (C minor) n't believe
you could (F major) at the time
With (A sharp minor) her twisted way (F sharp major)
of mak (C sharp major) ing you strong
(B major) And (A sharp minor) easing and teasing
you further (F sharp major) along (B major)
She's a (B minor) hard girl to know (C sharpdim)
(E minor) In (B major) the act of giving,
is she tak (E minor) ing your side
(G major) Like there's (F sharp major) somebody else
(A sharpdim) in (F sharp major) the (B minor) back of her eyes
You've (C sharpdim) nev er met before
She's a hard girl to know
An (G major) d she acts so different
with the (E minor) people she
You won (D minor) der whose heart
is the (E flat major) heart that beats
At the center, (A flat minor) the es (A flatdim) sence,
(A flat major) the core (A minor)
And (C major) then she'll do something so (F major) reckless,
so wild (B flat minor)
That (C major) you'll see in the woman
the soul (F major) of the (B flat major) child
And the (G minor) child's saying,
never let go of (C minor) my hand (A flat major)
It's a (C minor) deep ocean, so drink (F major) all you can
Drink (A sharp minor) till you drown (F sharp major) in it,
(C sharp major) swallow the (B major) sea
Lose (A sharp minor) your confusion and drown (F sharp major) in me
