Hit Too Hard Lyrics & Tabs by Sister City
Hit Too Hard
guitar chords lyrics
With a steady stance and a weighted walk
I set out at dawn to see what I was made of
And the sun cast shadows, which obscured my face
And my head was pounding for the human race
I had a song to base my carbon footprint on
So I dropped to D and sang it in a different key
And I saw complete as the secret became clear to me
I ran off like a petty thief
Trying to feed his family
With finger foods so fittingly I folded
I dropped to my knees
I declined to ask the time or date or towns I'd passed
I relied instead on all the things that I'd been handed
I met a man and I shook his weathered, hardened hand
I avoided blame as I hid behind my passed down last name
I relied instead on all the things that I'd been handed
I met a man and I shook his weathered, hardened hand
I avoided blame as I hid behind my passed down last name
I had a choice to make and a risk to take
I drew a line and I set a foot on either side
And I stood as long as it took the battle to be won
The past and future raged along while nature's nurtured privileged pawn
Stood timeless in the parking lot of the local suburban shopping mall
I dropped to my knees and I put my faith in the concrete
It took half a million years, but I figured out what will not save me
With a spit-shined sheen: alive, prepared for anything
I signed a lease; I am older than I used to be
I am older than I used to be
I got to my feet
With a pregnant pause in the ending I was dreaming of
I'd admit defeat rather than defer to something I can't see
I parked my car in a place that I have been before
I am still the same, but different in so many ways
I dropped to my knees
I am stronger than I used to be
I got to my feet
I am farther than I used to be
I dropped to my knees
I am smarter than I used to be
I got to my feet
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
The same, the same, but differently
