Tom: C
C F C F
[Verse]
F C
Old friends, they grow old
C F
Some don't make it at all
F C
Those times, they were just gold
C F
At the time, they were just small
F G
Moments we take in
G F
Hours that just pass
F G
Cities far apart
G F
And the memories, they still last
F C
Years we get busy
C F
Caught up in this life
F C
Of who we became
C F
No time for thinking twice
F G
If only someone said
G F
That the days would sometimes end
F G
We'd grow into something new
G F
But we'd miss it in the blend
[Chorus]
F Am
I got roses on my shades
Am C
My eyes are just a glaze
F
Responsibility was never, ever customary
F Am
Innocent and free
Am C
Dream out loud and be
C F
And you make me really see
F C
This life ain't easy
C F
But it's the one that we all got
[Verse]
F C
Stories on the street
C F
Tell me TV shows to see
F C
And the music I should hear
F
Then you take me for a beer
F G
told me how you crashed your car
G F
Told me how you went too far
F G
No more drinking anymore
G F
No more smoking, no more coke
[Chorus]
F Am
Now the sun beats through my shades
Am C
And my eyes are just a glaze
C F
And my house full of my girls
F
And my brains dizzy in a whirl
Am
So much responsibility
Am C
Sometimes I cannot breathe
C F
But it's the here and it's the now
F F
I wouldn't change it for the world
F C
'Cause this life ain't easy
C F
But it's the one that we all got
[Verse]
F C
All the choices that I made
C F
And all the fuck-ups I had to face
F C
All the minutes on my own
F
And the loneliness I owned
F G
And the hours in my head
G F
And the things I wish I'd said
F G
That I love you more and more
G F
but it came out wrong for sure
F Am
And this monkey on my back
Am C
Has been living here for years
C F
I got to know him pretty well
F F
He likes to give me all my fears
[Chorus]
F Am
I'd like to make it on my own
Am C
But the friendship's strong within
C F
And I hold that part so tight
F F
'Cause it makes it all so clear
C
That this life ain't easy
F
But it's the one that we all got
F C
That this life ain't easy
C F C
But it's the one that we all got
