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                               F 
Said, if he didn't come back, he'd 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                                    F 
I let him go where he thought he had to go 



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 F So why don't you take it a little 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 F Almost proselytised by those gleaming piles of papers Dm Yeah, I watched the power huddles F And their coats draped over puddles Dm F And their, Trust me, baby, I'm the one you need.
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 F So why don't you take it a little easy on me now
Bridge: Am F C We don't want to be the ones who lie and cheat and slander Am F C So we hold each other up to the higher standard Am F C But I'll tell you what, I never 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 F Through the peaks and twisty canyons, I made many great companions Dm F Best of all, is the one who loves me like you do
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 F So why don't you take it a little easy on me now
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 F So why don't you take it a little easy on me now Dm F C Because we know that easy's never easy anyhow
