Capo 2
GI've been takin' it Ceasy too lGong
GSticking arCound this Glonesome Dmtown
Like a Ambird that just won't Cfly
Oh Gwhy can't DmI just get Cover you?
What'll I Gdo?
GI've been takin' it eCasy too Glong
GHanging aroCund in a Greckless Dmway
Drinkin' whAmiskey on the tCracks
All of the Gplans I've Dmmade just pass Caway
Never aGgain
Cos there's Amwasted hours and there's Cwasted days
I'm gonna Amwaste a few more if I gCet my way
Cos Gtakin' it easy ain't the Ceasy way after a Gwhile
GI've been takin' it Ceasy too Glong
GWaitin' for a Cwoman when I Gshould've been Dmgone
Like a sAmong that ain't been Csung
That's what my Glife's bDmecome
Sittin' iCn my car
Look at the starGs
Cos there's a mAmillion stars in the Csky at night
You get Amlost if you don't Cshine too bright
And I've been Gtakin' it easy most Cevery night
For far too lGong
GI've been takin' it eCasy too Glong

Capo 2

G C G

I've been takin' it easy too long

G C G Dm

Sticking around this lonesome town

Am C

Like a bird that just won't fly

G Dm C

Oh why can't I just get over you?

What'll I do?

G C G

I've been takin' it easy too long

G C G Dm

Hanging around in a reckless way

Am C

Drinkin' whiskey on the tracks

G Dm C

All of the plans I've made just pass away

Never again

Am C

Cos there's wasted hours and there's wasted days

Am C

I'm gonna waste a few more if I get my way

G C G

Cos takin' it easy ain't the easy way after a while

G C G

I've been takin' it easy too long

G C G Dm

Waitin' for a woman when I should've been gone

Am C

Like a song that ain't been sung

G Dm

That's what my life's become

Sittin' in my car

Look at the stars

Am C

Cos there's a million stars in the sky at night

Am C

You get lost if you don't shine too bright

G C

And I've been takin' it easy most every night

For far too long

G C G

I've been takin' it easy too long
