CAPO 3 
 
VERSE 1: 
 
           A 
If I could do it all again well I wouldnt change a thing 
                                    E 
I'd have you back the way I had you then 

But one thing that I know this time I wouldn't make you go 
                                      A 
I'd have you back I wouldn't lose you again 
                  D 
But I learned the hard way 
                                A 
I can't have it back what i had then 
                  D 
Yes I learned the hard way 
                                    E 
And I know I won't have that chance again  
 
 
                  A 
Some nights I sit on my own with the feeling of alone 
                              E 
Wondering if your ever coming home and I know why you're gone 

I'll be the first to say I'm wrong 
                                     A 
But it's hard to spend another night alone 
                     D 
Cause' I learned the hard way 
                                A 
I can't have it back what i had then 
                  D 
Yes I learned the hard way 
                                    E 
And I know I won't have that chance again  

BREAK:  
A E A 
 

CHORUS: 
                  D 
Yes I learned the hard way 
                                A 
I can't have it back what i had then 
                  D 
Yes I learned the hard way 
                                    E 
And I know I won't have that chance again 
                     A    A          
Cause' I learned the hard way
