Standard (EADGBE)

Verse one

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tough, you think you've got the stuff

 You're telling me and anyone

You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight

 You don't have to always be right

Let me take some of the punches

For you tonight

Pre-chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen to me now

 I need to let you know

 You don't have to go it alone

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 And it's you when I look in the mirror

 And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Verse two

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We fight all the time

 You and I...that's alright

 We're the same soul

I don't need...I don't need to hear you say

 That if we weren't so alike

 You'd like me a whole lot more

Pre-chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Listen to me now

 I need to let you know

 You don't have to go it alone

Chorus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 And it's you when I look in the mirror

 And it's you when I don't pick up the phone

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Bridge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that we don't talk

I'm sick of it all

Can - you - hear - me - when - I -

Sing, you're the reason I sing

You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Well, hey now!

 I've got to let you know

 A house still doesn't make a home

 Don't leave me here alone...

FINAL CHORUS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 And it's you when I look in the mirror

 And it's you that makes it hard to let go

Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Sometimes you can't make it

 The best you can do is to fake it

Sometimes you can't make it on your own
