Answer To Yourself

          B             D
You gotta answer to yourself
            A              E
You can't depend on anyone else
          B                          D
You gotta know where you stand, know what's in your hands
                A             E
Yeah, you gotta answer to yourself


[Verse 2]
          B                   D
You gotta write down what you know
          A                   E
You gotta make sure that it's known
                B               D
Because they're comin' along to see what you've done
                  A                  E
And they're gonna claim it for their own

[Verse 3]
          B              D
You got a rabbit in your hat
          A                  E
You got a few tricks up your sleeve
          B                 D
Don't get stuck in a rut or stuck in the same
              A                E
Yeah, you got exactly what you need


[Verse 4]
          B                 D
You got a talent, don't you know?
            A                 E
You're more talented than you know
        B                  D
And you give it a shot and give it the time
            A                 E
You'd be surprised how far it goes


[Chorus]
    G                 E     D      A      G
But I think I'm gonna die before I see my time
                E
Think I'm gonna die, try it anyway

          B             D
You gotta answer to yourself
           A                E
Two days a week outside yourself
            B              D
You take an hour a day, an hour a day
              A                 E
And you don't respond to anyone else


[Verse 6]
          B                  D
You got a few things on your shelf
           A                    E
You got to look through for yourself
          B                           D
You gotta choose what to read, choose what to believe
              A                   E
And you don't take it from anyone else


[Chorus]
    G                 E     D      A      G
But I think I'm gonna die before I see my time
                E
Think I'm gonna die, try it anyway

      G                 E     D      A      G
Yeah, I think I'm gonna die before I see my time
                E              B
Think I'm gonna die, try it anyway
