Art Is Hard Tab par Cursive (Accords Baryton)

Intro:

G x4 


            G                        
Cut it out - 
                          Eb
Your self-inflicted pain
                        Bb
is getting too routine
                          D                              
the crowds are catching on - 
                            G
to the self-inflicted song
                        Eb         
Well, here we go again - 
                        Bb
the art of acting weak
                      D
Fall in love to fail - 
                        G
to boost your CD sales
                     Eb
And that CD sells - 
                  Bb
yeah, what a hit
                  D
You've got to repeat it, you gotta' sink to swim.


Eb
If at first you don't succeed
D
you gotta recreate your misery
Bb
'cause we all know art is hard
D
young artists have gotta starve
Eb
Try, and fail, and try again
D
the comforts of repetition
Bb
Keep churning out those hits
D
'til it's all the same old shit

G x4
                   G 
Oh, a second verse!
                         Eb
Well, color me fatigued
                         Bb
I'm hiding in the leaves
                         D
in the CD jacket sleeves
                      G
tired of entertaining
                           Eb
some double-dipped meaning
                     Bb
a soft serve analogy
                        D
This drunken angry slur
                      G
in thirty-one flavors
G 
You gotta' sink to swim
G
immerse yourself in rejection
G
regurgitate some sorry tale
G
about a boy who sells his love affairs
G
You gotta' fake the pain
G
you better make it sting
G
you're gonna' break a leg
G
when you get on stage
G
and they scream your name
G
"Oh, Cursive is so cool!"

Eb, D, Bb, D

Eb
You gotta sink to swim
D
impersonate greater persons
Bb
'cause we all know art is hard
D
when we don't know who we are

Eb, D, Eb, D x2

End on Eb
