[Verse]
B D#m A G#m
The rent's due tomorrow
C#m C#m/F# F#
Haven't got a penny to my name
B D#m A G#m
I'm trying to build me a lifetime
C#m C#m/F# F#
Think I better start a new frame
[Chorus]
D#m G#m E A#m7b5
And I think I'm learnin' first hand
D# G#m C#m D#m
About what it's like to be
G#m E A#m7b5
To be a musician
D# G#m E
And I can see

It's not an easy life

B D#m A G#m
Guess that I chose the hard road
C#m C#m/F# F#
No use wonderin' why
B D#m A G#m
I had hopes I would make it
C#m C#m/F# F#
Must have had my hopes up too high
[Chorus 2]
D#m G#m E A#m7b5
And I think I'm learnin' first hand
D# G#m C#m D#m
About what it's like to be
G#m E A#m7b5
To be a musician
D# G#m E
And I can see
C#m
It's not an easy life

It's not an easy life to live
[Bridge]

And I keep on smilin'
C#m/F# F#
Smilin'
F#/B E/B F#/B
Ooooh smilin'
E F#/E
Smilin'
D#m7b5 G#sus4 G#
To hide the pain
C#m C#m/F# F#
Inside I'm cryin' cryin
B F#/A# G#m F#
Ooooh cryin'
E C#m
And it's hard
C#m/F# F#
It's hard to explain
[Chorus 3]
D#m G#m E A#m7b5
And I think I'm learnin' first hand
D# G#m C#m D#m
About what it's like to be
G#m E A#m7b5
To be a musician
D# G#m E
And I can see
C#m
It's not an easy life
C#m/F# F# B F#/B E/B F#/B
It's not an easy life to live
C#m
It's not an easy life
C#m/F# F# B F#/B E/B F#/B
It's not an easy life to live
C#m
It's not an easy life
C#m/F# F# B F#/B E/B F#/B
It's not an easy life to live
