The hardest thing I've ever done
-4  -4  -3  -4  5*
Is keep believing
-3  -5  5*  5*  -4  -4  -3  3*  -3  3_
There's someone in this crazy world for me
-3  -6*  6  6  -5  5*  -5  -5_
The way that people come and go
-3  -6  6  6  -5  -5_
Through temporary lives
-5  -5  5*  5*  -4  -4  -3  3*  -3  -4_
My chance could come and I might never know

2  -6*  6  6  -5  -5  5*  5*
I used to say, no promises
-4  -4  -3  -4  5*
Let's keep it simple
-3  -5  5*  5*  -4  -4  -3  3*  -3  3_
But freedom only helps you say goodbye

-3  -6*  6  6  -5  5*  -5  -5
It took a while for me to learn
-3  5*  5*  -4  5*  -3__
That nothin' comes for free
-3  -5  -5  -5  5*  -4  -3  -2*  -3  -3_
The price I've paid is high enough for me

-6*  -6*  -6*  7*  -7  -8  7*  6__
I know I need to be in love
-5  -5  5*  -5  -6*  6  6  6__
I know I've wasted too much time
-3  -6*  -6*  -6*  -6*  -6  -6  -6*  7*  7*  -7  7*  -6*  5*__
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
-3  -5  -5  -5  5*  -4  -3  -2*  -3  -3__ 
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find
(Short Interlude Then Repeat Last 3 Verses)
(Repeat Last Verse)

So here I am with pockets full
Of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at four a.m.
Without a friend in sight
I’m hanging on a hope, but I'm alright

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

This plays with karaoke music, same Artist, run time 3:31.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
