Gotta Knock A Little Harder

[G], [A7], [F], [C/G], [G], [Gsus4], [G] x 4

[G]Happiness is just a word to me,
And it m[Bb]ight have meant a thing or tw[F]o
                  [C/G], [C]/[Gsus4] 4, [C/G]
if I'd known the difference.

[G]Emptiness, a lonely parody,
And my l[Bb]ife, another smokin’ [F]gun
             [C/G], [C]/[Gsus4] 4, [C/G]
A sign of my indifference.

[Eb]Always keepin’ safe inside
Where no one [F]ever had a chance
                 [C/G], [C]/[Gsus4] 4, [C/G]
To penetrate or break in.

[Eb]Let me tell you some have tried,
but I s[F]lam the door so tight
                     [C/G], [C]/[Gsus4] 4, [C/G]
That they could never get in.

repeat chords

same as intro):

[G]The longer I'd stall

The further I'd crawl
[A7]The further I'd crawl

The harder I'd fall
[F]I was crawlin'[C/G] into the fi[G]re

[G]The more that I saw

The further I'd fall
[A]The further I'd fall

The lower I'd crawl
[F]I kept fallin[C/G]' into the fi[G]re

repeat chorus chords

key change):

[A]Suddenly it occurred to me
The [C]reason for the run and [G]hide
Had totaled my [D]exi[Dsus4]stence [D]

[A]Everything left on the other side
Could [C]never be much worse that t[G]his
But could I go the [D]dis[Dsus4]tance  [D]

[F]  I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' [D]off each piece of chain
Until they we[A]re [Asus4]broken [A]

[F]But no matter how I tried
The other [D]side was locked so tight
The door it wouldn'[A]t o[Asus4]pen    [A]

[A]Gave it all that I got

And started to knock
Shou[B]ted for someone

To open the lock
I just [G]gotta[D] get through the d[A]oor[Asus4]       [A]

[A]And the more that I knocked

The hotter I got
The h[B]otter I got

The harder I'd knock
I just [G]gotta[D] break through the d[A]oor[Asus4]       [A]

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
Gotta knock a little h[G]arder [D]
Break through the do[A]or [Asus4]        [A]
