Misc Originals – Blake Osteen - Aint Always Easy (Guitar)

C                                                       Am
That old truck won’t start again, been sittin’ out all week

F                                                                  C
Bills piled high on the counter, and I’m runnin’ low on sleep

C
Got dreams bigger than this small town, but

Am
they don’t pay the rent

        F                                                        C
And sometimes it feels like livin’s just tryin’ to

               G
make a dent

                  Am            G
But I keep my head above the water

           F                           C               G
Even when it pulls me down

                     Am                        G
‘Cause I’ve learned life don’t give you mercy

             F                           G
Just a chance to turn it ‘round

                       C
Ain’t always easy, but it’s worth the fight

                     Am
Sometimes wrong turns lead you right

               F
There’s pain, there’s loss, and a little bit of grace

        G
You find your strength in the hardest days

            C
We all fall, we all bleed

                    Am
But we get back up eventually

       F                        C                  G
No, it ain’t always easy

           G                                       C             Am
But it sure makes you believe

C                                                         Am
Lost a friend way too young, and I still see his face

F                                                                    C
Sometimes I talk to him at night, just to fill

                     G
that empty space

C                                               Am
Mama prays I’ll settle down, find a girl and stay

       F                                                             C
But I’m still out here chasin’ songs, and tryin’

                   G
to find my way

               Am                                        G
And I’ve learned that storms don’t last forever

F                                          C
Even when they tear you down

                 Am          G
There’s a rainbow after thunder

    F                      G
If you just hang around

                      C
Ain’t always easy, but it’s worth the fight

                    Am
Sometimes wrong turns lead you right

              F
There’s pain, there’s loss, and a little bit of grace

        G
You find your strength in the hardest days

            C
We all fall, we all bleed

             Am
But we get back up eventually

       F                       C               G
No, it ain’t always easy

                                       C
But it sure makes you believe

           Am                              G
Every scar’s a story, every tear’s a prayer

               F                                   C
And the broken roads still get you there

                  Am                                    G
When the night feels long and the light’s gone dim

                         F                            G
You just keep drivin’ ‘til the sun breaks in

                       C
Ain’t always easy, but it’s worth the fight

                     Am
Sometimes wrong turns lead you right

              F
There’s pain, there’s loss, and a little bit of grace

       G
You find your strength in the hardest days

            C
We all fall, we all bleed

             Am
But we get back up eventually

       F                        C                 G
No, it ain’t always easy

                                   C
But it sure makes you believe

              Am
Yeah, it ain’t always easy…

       F                         G                    C
But it’s life, and it’s real, and it’s me.
