[Verse 1]
Em B Em
The way you held my face, I swear I softened
B Em B Em
For the very first time in my life
B Em B Em
Fist unclenched and my guard started dropping
B Em B Em
We kissed quick before you pulled me inside
B Em B Em
The next morning, I looked in the mirror
B Em B Em
Saw a woman I had never met
B Em B Em
She looked hopeful, even sewn-up, pitiful
B Em B Em
Like she forgot nothing is a given
D C
Nothing is a given
[Chorus]
D
So hit me, I can't get soft
C
Cause I'm too hard
D
And my ribs are metal cages
C
To guard my heart
B Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Post-Chorus]
B
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em B
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em B
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Verse 2]
B Em B Em
I got married once in combat boots and
B Em B Em
Only listened to testosterone music
B Em B Em
I had to kill my feminine just to do it
B Em B Em
To get to you, I had to go through it
[Chorus]
D
So hit me, I can't get soft
C
Cause I'm too hard (Hard)
D
And my ribs are metal cages
C
To guard my heart (Heart)
D
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Bridge]
C
Always ready for the piano to fall
D
Always ready to be left out in the cold
C
Armor's heavy, never suited me at all
But it's the devil I know
[Chorus]
D
So hit me, I can't get soft
C
Cause I'm too hard (Hard)
D
And my ribs are metal cages
C
To guard my heart (Heart)
B Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
[Post-Chorus]
B
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em B
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em B
I'm too, I'm too hard
Em
I'm too, I'm too hard
B Em
