Dar Williams - The Easy Way


INTRO: C majorC FF C majorC FF

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

CHORUS:
    C majorC       FF
'Cause I never took

Heavy words for granted
  C majorC       FF
And I never took

The undeserved advantage
   A minorAm       FF
No, I never took the easy way
         DmDm             FF
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now


C majorC         FF
Out on the road, I had so many questions
        C majorC        FF
That I thought I could explode just for some attention
    C majorC         FF
Like an acolyte, I saw the flames of towering tapers
    C majorC           FF
Almost proselytised by those gleaming piles of papers
    DmDm
Yeah, I watched the power huddles
     FF
And their coats draped over puddles
      DmDm               FF
And their, ?Trust me, baby, I'm the one you need.?

CHORUS:
  C majorC       FF
But I never took

Heavy words for granted
  C majorC       FF
And I never took

The undeserved advantage
   A minorAm       FF
No, I never took the easy way
         DmDm             FF
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now


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


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


CHORUS:
  C majorC       FF
But I never took

Heavy words for granted
  C majorC       FF
And I never took

The undeserved advantage
   A minorAm       FF
No, I never took the easy way
         DmDm             FF
So why don't you take it a little easy on me now


CHORUS:
    C majorC       FF
'Cause I never took

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