Standard (EADGBE)

 The hardest thing in the world

 Holland [?] it don't please

 I never wanted to leave

 Searching for a perfect day

 It never happens that way - ahey hey hey

(same as above)

I'm sick and tired and so obscene

Will heaven help me be clean?

Searching for a perfect day

It never happens that way - ahey hey hey

 Cut away, I know your world wants you around [?]

(SAME AS ABOVE)

You never heard a word I said

It's very simple to me

That if you knew you wouldn't say

It never happens that way - ahey hey hey

 And the impression I get

 As the story unfurls:

 That you're the hardest thing in the world

 Cut away, I know your world wants you around

What you feel might not be

It seems softer [?] to me

I cannot climb to touch your spire

I'm getting higher and higher

Cut away, I know your world wants you around

The hardest thing in the world
