The Easy Way(Ukulele chords)

	        



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
