1. Tough
       G
   You think you've got the stuff
          F#m            D
   You're telling me and anyone
          A
   You're hard enough
   
   You don't have to put up a fight
   Don't always have to be right
   Let me take some of the punches
   For you tonight

   D            A
R: Listen to me now
                     D
   I need to let you know
   You don't have to go it alone
   
            A                      E
   And it's you when I look in the mirror
            D
   And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
    A                  E               D
   Sometimes you can't make it on your own

2. We fight all the time
   You and I that's alright
   We're the same soul
   
   I don't need
   Don't need to hear you say
   That if we weren't so alike
   You'd like me a whole lot more

R: Listen to me now...

*:       I know that we don't talk
   F C Dm
      I'm sick of it all
   F  C     Dm
    Can you hear me when I
   A
   Sing
    D
   You're the reason I sing
                     E        A
   You're the reason why the opera's in me
       D
   Hey now
                        A
   Still got to let you know
                          D
   A house doesn't make a home
                       E
   Don't leave me here alone
   
            A                      E
   And it's you when I look in the mirror
            D
   And it's you that makes it hard to let go
   A                   E               D
   Sometimes you can't make it on your own
   A                   E
   Sometimes you can't make it
   D
   Best you can do is to fake it
   A                   E               D
   Sometimes you can't make it on your own
