[Verse 1]
                    C#m
Well my mother once told me
                        G#
Success and money isn't everything
                                 C#m
Son you're young but when you're older
                                   G#
Don't let the world lean down your shoulders
                              C#m
Each day the grave is getting closer
                    G#     G#7
Son remember what I told ya

[Chorus]
E                       C#m
You've got to live your life
E              C#m
 And take your time
E                C#m
 Son make things right
F#m              G#
No one's rushing you
   F#m                G#
So lead a life that’s true
Until you reach your last breath

                  C#m
And my Daddy once said to me
                         G#
Embrace this life with humility
                          C#m
Don't be conditioned by society
                               G#
Look passed the maze and it'll set you free
                              C#m
Each day your life is getting shorter
                    G#     G#7
Son remember what I told ya

[Chorus]
E                       C#m
You've got to live your life
E              C#m
 And take your time
E                C#m
 Son make things right
F#m              G#
No one's rushing you
   F#m                G#
So lead a life that’s true
Until you reach your last breath
