Cursive – Art Is Hard chords

[Intro]
Gm

[Verse 1]
       GmCut it out
                        EbYour self-inflicted pain
                     BbIs getting too routine
                        DmThe crowds are catching on
                        GmTo the self-inflicted song
                     EmWell, here we go again
                     BbThe art of acting weak
                   DmFall in love to fail
                 GmTo boost your CD sales
GmAnd that CD sells (Yeah, what a hit)
GmYou've got to repeat it
GmYou gotta' sink to swim
 GmIf at first you don't succeed
          D/AYou gotta recreate your misery
             BbCause we all know art is hard
      D/CYoung artists have gotta starve
GmTry, and fail, and try again
    D/AThe comforts of repetition
     BbKeep churning out those hits
          D/A'Til it's all the same old shit

Gm

[Verse 2]
                   GmOh, a second verse!
                       EbWell, color me fatigued
                        BbI'm hiding in the leaves
                        DmIn the CD jacket sleeves
             GmTired of entertaining
                       EbSome double-dipped meaning
                   BbA soft serve analogy
                     DmThis drunken angry slur
                     GmIn thirty-one flavors
GmYou gotta' sink, gotta sink
GmGotta sink to swim
GmImmerse yourself in rejection
GmRegurgitate some sorry tale
GmAbout a boy who sells his love affairs
GmYou gotta' fake, fake, fake the pain
GmYou better make, make, make it sting
GmYou're gonna' break, break, break a leg
GmWhen you get on stage
GmAnd they scream your name

Gm D/A Bb D/C

("Oh, Cursive is so cool!")


[Outro]

("Oh, Cursive is so cool!")
           GmYou gotta' sink, gotta sink

Gotta sink to swim
D/AImpersonate greater persons
         BbCause we all know art is hard
        D/CWhen we don't know who we are

Gm D/A Bb D/C (x2)
Gm/D
