Art Is Hard

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Cut it [Em]out - your self-inflicted p[C]ain
Is getting too [G]routine
The crowds are catching [Bm]on
To the self inflicted [Em]song

[Verse 2]
Well, here we go [C]again
The art of acting [G]weak
Fall in love to [Bm]fail
To boost your CD [Em]sales

[Verse 3]
(And that CD [Em]sells - yeah,
what a hit)
You've got to repeat it
You gotta' sink to swim
If at [C]first you don't succeed

[Verse 4]
You gotta [Bm]recreate your misery
'Cause we [G]all know art is hard
Young [Em]artists have got [B]to starve
[C]Try, and fail, and try again

[Verse 5]
The [Bm]comforts of repetition
Keep [G]churning out those hits
'Til it's [Em]all the same o[B]ld shit
[Em]

[Verse 6]
Oh, a second verse!
Well, color me fa[C]tigued
I'm hiding in [G]hte leaves
In the CD jacket [Bm]sleeves

[Verse 7]
Tired of enter[Em]taining
Some double-dipped meaning
mean[C]ing
A soft serve ana[G]logy
This drunken angry [Bm]slur

[Verse 8]
In thirty-one flavors [Em]fla
vors
You gotta' sink to swim
Immerse yourself in rejection

[Verse 9]
Regurgitate some sorry tale
[Em]About a boy who sells his love affairs
You gotta' fake the pain
You better make it sting

[Verse 10]
You're goin' break a long
[Em]When you get on stage
And they scream [C]your name[Bm][G]
"Oh, [Em]Cursive [C]is so cool!"

[Verse 11]
You gotta sink [C]to swim
Imper[Bm]sonate greater persons
'Cause we all [G]know art is hard
[Em]When we don't know who we [B]are

[Outro 1]
