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

The years we get busy
Caught up in this life
Of who we became
No time for thinking twice
If  only someone said
That the days would sometimes end
We'd grow into something new
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 b
 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

Stories on the street
Tell me TV shows to see
And the music I should hear
Then you take me for a beer
You told me how you crashed your car
Told me how you went too far
No more drinking anymore
No more smoking, no more coke

Chorus:
Now the sun beats through my shades
And my eyes are just a glaze
And my house full of my girls
And my brain's dizzy in a whirl
So much responsibility
Sometimes I cannot breathe
But it's the here and it's the now
I wouldn't change it for the world
'Cause this life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got

All the choices that I made
And all the fuck-ups I had to face
All the minutes on my own
And the loneliness I owned
And the hours in my head
And the things I wish I'd said
That I love you more and more
But it came out wrong for sure

Chorus:
And this monkey on my back
Has been living here for years
I got to know him pretty well
He likes to give me all my fears
I'd like to make it on my own
But the friendship's strong within
And I hold that part so tight
'Cause it makes it all so clear
That this life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got
This life ain't easy
But it's the one that we all got
