Hard Knocks

G Once upon a time Em There was a young boy C And he had no home D To call his own G 'Cause the one that he came from Em It was broken too C He was broken three D Broken in four G So he took to the road Em Well not that storybook road C But the road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks C F Em Yeah, that road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks G Well, lessons were learned Em And a heart it got burned C And the innocence turned D Like it will do G Into something tough as leather Em Protect you from the weather C Yeah, some so tough D Nobody can hurt you G So he took to the road Em Well not that storybook road C But the road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks G Em C D G Now everybody's got Em A path they must tread C And tread you must D Till your dead G But if that young boy Em Could pass on one fine ? C Said never let go D Of ? scoldin' rain G Don't become as tough as leather Em Who cares about the weather C And always let love in D Even if it hurts you G So he took to the road Em Well not that storybook road C But the road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks C F Em Yeah, that road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks G Yeah, we're all on the road Em Not that storybook road C But the road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks G Yeah, we're all on the road Em Not that storybook road C But the road where the hard knocks D Meet the hard rocks
