[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
