Intro:
   Db         Gb   Db
   Db         Ab

   Db         Ab   Db

Verse 1:
Db                          Gb     Db
All I've ever wanted was an honest life
Db                             Ab
To be the person that I really am inside
Db                                Gb
To tell you all the things that I did that night
Db                                      Ab     Db
Sometimes it just ain't easy to live an honest life

Verse 2:
Db                                Gb      Db
All I've ever needed was a little time to grow
         Db                         Ab
A little time to understand all the things that I know
         Db                                Gb
So I can listen to you lovingly instead of getting up to go
     Db                        Ab      Db
Some people take a little more time to grow

Chorus:
Gb                                 Db    Db Db
Right when you have it all figured out
Bbm                             Ab  Ab6 Ab7
Life comes to throw you another doubt
Gb               Db
But my head's up high
                Gb          Db
And I ain't got nothing but time
Db                   Ab     Db
To work at living an honest life

{Solo]

Verse 3:
Db                            Gb          Db
All I've ever asked for was a way to understand
Db                        Ab
All of life's lessons the best that I can
Db                                           Gb
How to be honest, how to be wise, and how to be a good friend
     Db                        Ab         Db
Some things take a lifetime to fully understand

Life comes to throw you another doubt
Gb               Db
But my head's up high
                Gb          Db
And I ain't got nothing but time
   Db   Db    Db     Db    Ab     Db
To work at  living an  honest life
   Db   Db    Db     Db    Ab     Gb    Db
To work at  living an  honest life
