Hard Times For An Honest Man

One man does his work
Hes not satisfied not at all
Feels like that hes being used
His self respect starts to fall
His frustration
Runnin very very high he takes it out
On the ones he loves, because its safe
And who they gonna tell

And he [A]hates that cold-[B]bloodedness
[E]That runs inside

[E]Oh yes
Its hard [A]times (hard [B]times), for an [E]honest man (honest man)
[A]Very very [B]very hard [E]times
Hard [A]times (hard [B]times), for an [E]honest man (honest man)
[A]Very very [B]very hard [E]times

Sister (sister),
Shes got a lot of pride
You can see it when she walks into the room
But shes young (shes young)
And shes unaware
Of what a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man
He lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up
For the rest of her days
And the[A]re aint no man c[B]an touch this
[E]Girls heart

[E]Oh yes
Its hard [A]times (hard [B]times), for an [E]honest man (honest man)
[A]Very very [B]very hard [E]times
Hard [A]times (hard [B]times), for an [E]honest man (honest man)
[A]Very very [B]very hard [E]times

So we walk
From the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and
Say goodbye
But some days are hard, like a
Soldiers steel-toed boots
And the[A] rent we pay to [B]stay here
[E]Gets high

[E]Oh yes
Its hard [A]times (hard [B]times), for an [E]honest man (honest man)
[A]Very very [B]very hard [E]times
Hard [A]times (hard [B]times), for an [E]honest man (honest man)
[A]Very very [B]very hard [E]times
