G
Once upon a time
             Em
There was a young boy

To call his own
 G
'Cause the one that he came from
        Em
It was broken too

He was broken three
           D
Broken in four

Chorus:
G
So he took to the road
              Em
Well not that storybook road
        C
But the road where the hard knocks
          D
Meet the hard rocks
            C           F           Em
Yeah, that road where the hard knocks
          D
Meet the hard rocks


Verse 2:
G
Well, lessons were learned
      Em
And a heart it got burned
         C
And the innocence turned
        D
Like it will do
G
Into something tough as leather
        Em
Protect you from the weather
       C
Yeah, some so tough
            D
Nobody can hurt you


Chorus:
G
So he took to the road
              Em
Well not that storybook road
        C
But the road where the hard knocks
          D
Meet the hard rocks


Instrumental:
G Em C D


Verse 3:
G
Now everybody's got
    Em
A path they must tread
      C
And tread you must
          D
Till your dead
G
But if that young boy
      Em
Could pass on one fine ?:
     C
Said never let go
                D
Of ?: scoldin' rain


Bridge:
G
Don't become as tough as leather
          Em
Who cares about the weather
           C
And always let love in
           D
Even if it hurts you


Chorus:
G
So he took to the road
              Em
Well not that storybook road
        C
But the road where the hard knocks
          D
Meet the hard rocks
            C           F           Em
Yeah, that road where the hard knocks
          D
Meet the hard rocks

Yeah, we're all on the road
         Em
Not that storybook road
           C
But the road where the hard knocks
             D
Meet the hard rocks
