Life isn’t for free

{fingerpicked acoustic guitar introduction,

warm and resonant, slow dynamic build} (hmmm-mmmmm)

You think you’re better

oooh you think your better than me

life isn’t a competition

so don’t get started with me

You think your better than this you think your better than that

oh you think your better

at that

But life isn’t your problem so nothing is holding you back

But don’t go covering it up

that you were wrong

and saying that you were right

(yeah) and don’t go erasing your problems

so that you don’t get caught yeah

cause life is a lesson

you need to learn

you don’t get things for free you gotta work work work

{expressive slide guitar solo,

melodic and emotional,

playing over acoustic chords} (work,

work, work) {music gradually fades out,

acoustic guitar decays gently} (mmmmm)
