This ain’t easy, so please don’t think it is

Verse:

C/G       G     C/G              G
Oh, my Delilah, I’ve been born again

C/G                   G  C/G                          G
It’s goodbye to this city, and though the nights are pretty
      C/               G            D4/A
this dark ain’t got a hold on me no more

C/G                G       C/G                     G
I’m gonna find a small town and make some small town friends
C/G                   G            D4/A (D7)
and fall in love with a small town girl
C/G                   G          C/G                G
‘cause I’ve known the devil and we’re done holding hands
C/G                    G               D4/A
so here’s my chance, I’m gonna cut and run


Chorus:

Em          D/F#       G
Just don’t forget to pray,
C/G                     G
and know it’s for your sake
C/G                       G              D4/A (D7)
‘cause I don’t think it’s me the devil wants
