Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
F Am C F

Verse 1:
F                              Am
I used to love excuses then I realized they play no part
   C
In real life that's conducive to the dream which I work hard
   F                  Am
To bring fruition, to finish in good light
        C                                             F
And the laziness behind me wasted all my precious time

Chorus 1:
                Am
I wasted all my precious time
       C                                 F    C
Then I realized I'm not looking for happiness
                     F
I'm looking for work

Refrain:
F   Am
Oh, oh
C   F
Oh, oh

Verse 2:
F                                Am
Check under the mats, behind the doors, and in-between
    C
The alleyways and gutters that proclaim our lives less clean
          F                                 Am
If you're looking you won't find it so it's best to be content
         C                                                     F
With the shortcomings and fallouts we now look back and resent

Chorus 2:
          Am
Oh, and I resent
       C                                F    C
When I realize I'm not looking for happiness
                F
I'm looking for worth

Refrain:
F   Am
Oh, oh
C   F
Oh, oh

Bridge:
F
If you expect something simple
                Am
Like love, or a song to
                      C
Bring you lasting happiness
                      F
Well you ought to try not to
                           F (one strum)
For I've learned it's much harder
                          Am (one strum)
To pay attention, to work smarter
                            C (one strum)
Through the life choices we make
                           F (one strum)
You can't expect to make a mistake
         F (start strumming again)
I am not looking
                 Am
For lasting happiness
                            C
For if it was there all the time, Dear
                      F
Then this world would be bliss

Would there be something missing?
                       Am
Something missing from all of this?
                         C
What would make the good times good?
                               F
And the bad times necessary to get through?

            Am                           C
I know I'll get there, I've been working harder
                         F
When I realized I wasted my time


Solo:
F Am C Am7 F Am C Am7

Refrain:
F   Am
Oh, oh
C   F
Oh, oh


Ending:
                             Am
I'm only trying to make more minutes
                             C
If I could figure out how to stretch it
N.C.
There'd be time for all the love
       F
In the room
