Intro: F G7 Bb Bbm F C Bb F 

        F 
Since I lost her love 
          G7 
Seems I’ve lost my balance 
Bb                      Bbm 
I have no soft place to fall 
          F        C 
One could say I’m 
         Bb         F 
having a hard time 

         F 
Well the morning's rough 
        G7 
And the night's a challenge 
Bb                  Bbm 
As life grinds to a halt 
        F        C 
In this way I’m 
         Bb         F 
having a hard time 

Eb    D7 
Hard time 
    Gm             C7 
In dreams I walk beside her 
     Ebm           Bb         F 
The dawn comes and I’m on my own 

        F 
Where I used to laugh 
      G7 
Now I find no humor 
Bb                  Bbm 
Wish I knew what to say 
      F     C 
Stuck am I 
                     Bb         F 
between a rock and a hard time 

Eb     D7 
   Gm               C7 
In dreams I walk beside her 
    Ebm            Bb        F 
The dawn comes and I’m on my own 

        F 
Since I lost her love 
          G7 
Seems I’ve lost my balance 
Bb                       Bbm 
There's no soft voice to call 
          F      C         Bb 
One could say I’m having a hard time 
Bbm 
Oo-oh… 
F  C         Bb   Bbm   F 
I’m having a hard time
