C/G        G
C/G        F    C/G
C/G        G    C/G

[Verse 1]
C/G                         F      C/G
All I've ever wanted was an honest life
C/G                            G
To be the person that I really am inside
C/G                               F
To tell you all the things that I did that night
C/G                                     G      C/G
Sometimes it just ain't easy to live an honest life

[Verse 2]
C/G                               F       C/G
All I've ever needed was a little time to grow
         C/G                        G
A little time to understand all the things that I know
         C/G                               F
So I can listen to you lovingly instead of getting up to go
     C/G                       G       C/G
Some people take a little more time to grow

[Chorus]
F                                  C/G   C C/B
Right when you have it all figured out
Am                              G   G6 G7
Life comes to throw you another doubt
F                C/G
But my head's up high
                F           C/G
And I ain't got nothing but time
C/G                  G      C/G
To work at living an honest life

{Solo]
C/G        F    C/G
C/G        G
C/G        F    C/G
C/G        G    C/G

[Verse 3]
C/G                           F           C/G
All I've ever asked for was a way to understand
C/G                       G
All of life's lessons the best that I can
C/G                                          F
How to be honest, how to be wise, and how to be a good friend
     C/G                       G          C/G
Some things take a lifetime to fully understand

[Chorus]
F                                  C/G   C C/B
Right when you have it all figured out
Am                              G   G6 G7
Life comes to throw you another doubt
F                C/G
But my head's up high
                F           C/G
And I ain't got nothing but time
   C    C/D C/E    C/F G      C/G
To work at  living an  honest life
   C    C/D C/E    C/F G      F     C/G
To work at  living an  honest life
