[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Carhart
jacket [F]on 5: 30 AM
[C]Feeling like the ace [G]of spades
Fif[C]teen years old, work [F]till
the sun comes
[C]Then I'm off to school again
Work[F]ing my back as a young [C]man
Taught me I'd [Am]rather work [G]my [F]mind
So we'd cop [C]a little smoke
And crack [F]a couple jokes
Just [C]trying to learn [G]to survive
[C]

[Verse 2]
I wanted [F]to work to live
No not just live [C]to work
I had [F]a pain deep in my bones
beneath my T- [G]shirt
Was a young [C]man singin'
an old [F]man's song
[Am]Payin' with my [G]last [F]dimes
But [C]working to live beats [G]living to work
Any[F]time

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][F][C][G][C][F][C]

[Verse 3]
I [C]had a teacher
She [F]told my mother that she
[C]better find me [G]a trade
Because boys [C]like me well we [F]all grow up
To be long [C]term guest[G]s o[C]f the state
Now I worked [F]hard because I had [C]to
I nev[Am]er found mu[G]ch luck
[F]Till' I built my [C]world
Round' a Geor[F]gia girl
Who told [C]me that I [G]was enough
[C]

[Verse 4]
I wanted to [F]work to live
No not just live [C]to work
I had [F]a pain deep in my bones
beneath my t- [G]shirt
Was a young [C]man singing
an old [F]man's song
[Am]Paying with my [G]last [F]dimes
But [C]working to live beats [G]living to work
Any[F]time

[Verse 5]
[C]Sometimes [F]at night I wake with a shiver
Sweat [C]soaking clean through my sheets
Then I remem[F]ber I am who I am
Not [C]who they said I would be
And I [F]wasn't born with noth
[C]in'
[Am]Cept' a voice and [G]common [F]sense
[C]Maybe that's why I took
[F]off runnin'
The first [C]chance [G]that I had
[C]

[Verse 6]
I wanted to [F]work to live
No not just live [C]to work
I had [F]a pain deep in my bones
beneath my T- [G]shirt
Was a young [C]man [F]singing
an old man's song
[Am]Paying with my [G]last [F]dimes
But [C]working to live beats [G]living to work
[F]Anytime
Oh [Am]working to live beats [G]living to work
Anytime
