Capo on 2nd fret Standard tuning Em Lately I've been picking at the fossil in my throat It's hard to stare into the ocean and to try to stay afloat C Am Now don't upset yourself due to the changing of my mood Em I'm hard to please sometimes I'm hard to please sometimes Em I'm on a staircase to the bottom of the bottom of my soul Although my feet are still connected They are out of my control C Am Now please refrain yourself from worrying on my behalf Em I'm hard to understand sometimes I'm hard to understand sometimes G Honey come with me Em It's just you and me G Baby believe it's Em As simple as can be D Em I will be the jail that sets you free D Em I will be the jail that sets you free Em I'm shuffling underneath my pillow for the bed-crumbs of my mind It's hard to look there for a future when I left it all behind C Am And please don't condescend and say you've heard this one before Em I'm hard to please sometimes I'm hard to please sometimes Em And while you're offering a handshake to a goddamn amputee I feel my phantom heart is scratching in a train-wreck memory C Am And please don't try to cure me with on rectifying glance Em I'm hard to understand sometimes I'm hard to understand sometimes G Honey come with me Em It's just you and me G Baby believe it's Em As simple as can be D Em I will be the jail that sets you free D Em I will be the jail that sets you free G ' Em x2 G Em I'm hard to please sometimes G Em I'm hard to please sometimes D I will be the jail that makes you D I will be the jail that breaks you D Em I will be the jail that sets you free
