Hey guys. This is one of the only song's that I like off of John Legend's new CD,
so i decided to figure out the chords. Great song from an amazing song writer. I play this on 
uke, so just play with the voicing on guitar chords to fit your liking.

*Note: The D# chord voicing can be altered to your preference, i just put what i play.

Verse:
G# (xx1114@1)                 Cm7                                G#It (xx1114@1)gets harder every day, but I can't seem to shake the pain
                                Cm7
I'm trying to find the words to say, please stay
G# (xx1114@1)                     Cm7
It's written all over my face, I can't
C#Function (x43121@1)the same when you're not here
    FmI'm (133111@1)calling your name and no one's there
C# (x43121@1)               D#_high                  G#And (xx1114@1)I hope one day you'll see nobody has it easy,
              Cm7                        C#I (x43121@1)still can't believe you found somebody new
                   D#_high
But I wish you the best, I guess.

Chorus:
G# (xx1114@1)             Cm7                       C#'Cause (x43121@1)everybody knows, that nobody really knows
               Fm (133111@1)     D#_low
How to make it work or how to ease the hurt
G# (xx1114@1)               Cm7                    C#We've (x43121@1)heard it all before, that everybody knows
               Fm (133111@1)             D#_low           Bbm (x13321@1) FmHow (133111@1)to make it right, I wish we gave it one more try (try)
         G# (xx1114@1) Cm7
One more try (try)
         BbmOne (x13321@1)more try
                 D#_low                   G#'Cause (xx1114@1)everybody knows, but nobody really knows

                        Cm7                 G#Baby (xx1114@1)don't fill up your head, with he said, she said
