HARD TIMES COME EASY

Richie Sambora's original version

It's amazing, we go through changes,
When times get crazy, it's up and down, it's hot and cold.

These complications, just keep on coming,
There ain't not running, when it comes to life that's how it goes.

Round and round we go,
Sometimes it feels like, we're on a roller coaster ride.
Baby don't you know, it could eat you up,
If you try to keep it all inside.

Seems like hard times come easy, we do a lot of hanging on these days,
But the heart finds a reason, and love always seems to find a way.
Even if it hurts, even if it hurts us baby.

There's gonna be thunder, there's gonna be rain,
There's gonna be times, we both get caught up in the pain.
The realization, keeps sinking in,
The way you made it, is learn to take it on the chin.

Round and round we go,
It's just another day, with trouble knocking at your door.

Baby don't you know, we can work it out,
'Cause we always seem to find a cure.

Seems like hard times come easy, we do a lot of hanging on these days,
But the heart finds a reason, and love always seems to find a way.
Even if it hurts, even if it hurts you baby,
Even if it hurts, even if it hurts you baby.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Round and round we go,
Sometimes it feels like, we're on a roller coaster ride.
Baby don't you know, we'll keep holding on,
Through the changes that we feel inside.
Seems like hard times comes easy , (hard times come easy)
Do a lot of hanging on these days.
But the heart finds a reason, (heart finds a reason)
And love always seems to find a way.
Hard times,
Hard times come easy babe.
Talking' 'bout hard times,
They come easy baby.
