Hardschool

by Guns N' Roses

on Rough Mixes CD #3 (2001)

[instrumental intro/Fuzzy Guitar/Drum Ride]
[Verse]
All cautions made
Every chance was given
No effort spared
To save what we had
All in good faith
I would not hesitate
To extend myself
And lend you my hand

[Chorus]
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway

[Verse 2]
As tempers fade
And lies forgiven
No cause embraced
Could break what we had
In its place
A storm is lifting
I would've thought you could be more of a man

[Chorus]
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway

[Solo]

[Chorus x2]
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway

Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
If that were true it wouldn't matter anyway
