The Easy Way

INTRO: C  F  C  F

C               F
I knew a guy, I thought he was my 
first love
       C               F
But he had to decide between me and 
the one before
        C                  F
And she stacked it all up, like a 
house of cards
            C                      
Said, if he didn't come back, he'd 
         F
find her flattened on the floor
             Dm
And though I went and lived in my 
own Hell
F
Thought that I could die as well
  Dm                               
I let him go where he thought he 
     F
had to go


CHORUS:
       C              F
'Cause I never took

Heavy words for granted
    C              F
And I never took

The undeserved advantage
      Am             F
No, I never took the easy way
                 Dm              
So why don't you take it a little 
            F
easy on me now


C                  F
Out on the road, I had so many 
questions
               C               F
That I thought I could explode just 
for some attention
        C                  F
Like an acolyte, I saw the flames of
 towering tapers

       C                    
Almost proselytised by those 
 F
gleaming piles of papers
        Dm
Yeah, I watched the power huddles
          F
And their coats draped over puddles
            Dm                     
And their, “Trust me, baby, I'm the
         F
 one you need.”


CHORUS:
    C              F
But I never took

Heavy words for granted
    C              F
And I never took

The undeserved advantage
      Am             F
No, I never took the easy way
                 Dm              
So why don't you take it a little 
            F
easy on me now


BRIDGE:
         Am                      F
We don't want to be the ones who 
                 C
lie and cheat and slander
      Am                  F   
So we hold each other up to the 
         C
higher standard
         Am                     F 
But I'll tell you what, I never 
             C
try to make it hard
                   Dm
'Cause when you're hard just to be 
hard
         F
The only thing that's hard is you


   C                     F
So here's what I took, I kept the 
wine and laughter
      C               F
Until every path just grew up and 
ever after
            Dm              
Through the peaks and twisty 
                 F
canyons, I made many great 
companions
        Dm                         
Best of all, is the one who loves 
           F
me like you do


CHORUS:
    C              F
But I never took

Heavy words for granted
    C              F
And I never took

The undeserved advantage
      Am             F
No, I never took the easy way
                 Dm              
So why don't you take it a little 
            F
easy on me now


CHORUS:
       C              F
'Cause I never took

Heavy words for granted
         C
And it's much too late
   F
To even want the shortcut
        Am             F
Yeah, I never took the easy way
                 Dm              
So why don't you take it a little 
            F
easy on me now
                     Dm          
Because we know that easy's never 
         F        C
easy anyhow
