Chris Renzema - Hard Drugs

[Verse 1]
D
Hate is a hard drug
G D
When it gets in your blood
A Bm
Spreads likes a poison
G D
‘Til you can’t see what you’ve become
D
And anger’s a hard drug
G D
It’s like playing with matches
A Bm
You can burn your house down
G D
Before you even know what happened

[Chorus]
G Bm A/C# D
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
G Bm A/C# D
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
G D
And I’ve tried so many times
F#7 Bm
But they’re not easy to kick
G A D
But here I am, trying again

[Verse 2]
D
Greed is a hard drug
G D
Whether you buy or sell
A Bm
The love of God and money
G D
Are two things that don’t mix well
D
And fear is a hard drug
G D
When it hits your veins
A Bm
I need more than a fix
G D
I need a cure, I need Your grace

[Chorus]
G Bm A D
And, oh, these are hard drugs to quit
G Bm A D
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
G D
I’ve tried so many times
F#7 Bm
But they’re not easy to kick
G A D
But here I am, trying again

[Bridge]
G D A
Give me peace to accept the things I cannot change
G D A
And courage to change the things I can
G Bbm Bm A G
And the wisdom to know the difference between the two
G A Bm A/C# D
‘Cause what I can’t, I know You can do
G A D
Yeah, what I can’t, I know You can do

[Chorus]
G Bm A/C# D
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
G Bm A/C# D
Oh, these are hard drugs to quit
G D
And I’ve tried so many times
Bbm Bm
But they’re tough as hell to kick
G A Bm
Here I am, trying again
G A D
Oh, I know it, but here I am, trying again
