Em 
Lately I've been picking at the fossil in my throat  
It's hard to stare into the ocean  
and to try to stay afloat  
    C                               Am 
Now don't upset yourself due to the changing of my mood  
            Em 
I'm hard to please sometimes  
I'm hard to please sometimes  

Em  
I'm on a staircase to the bottom of the bottom of my soul  
Although my feet are still connected  
They are out of my control  
    C                            Am 
Now please refrain yourself from worrying on my behalf  
                        Em 
I'm hard to understand sometimes  
I'm hard to understand sometimes  

G 
Honey come with me  
Em 
It's just you and me

I will be the jail that sets you free  
D                               Em 
I will be the jail that sets you free  

Em 
I'm shuffling underneath my pillow for the bed-crumbs of my mind  
It's hard to look there for a future  
when I left it all behind  
    C                                     Am 
And please don't condescend and say you've heard this one before  
            Em 
I'm hard to please sometimes  
I'm hard to please sometimes  

Em 
And while you're offering a handshake to a goddamn amputee  
I feel my phantom heart is scratching in a train-wreck memory  
    C                                   Am 
And please don't try to cure me with on rectifying glance  
            Em 
I'm hard to understand sometimes  
I'm hard to understand sometimes
