Em D Bm C Em D Bm C D Em
[Verse]
EmIt should be easier than Dthis my friend,
BmOughta be like fallin' off a Clog,
EmBut after such a night as Dthis a man,
BmCould go right down to the Cdogs.
[Chorus 1]
Should be easier than Dthis,
Should be easier than Emthis.
[Verse]
EmShould be easy at this Dpoint in time,
BmAfter all I done beCfore.
EmThe words I'm speakin' used Dend up in a rhyme,
And Bmthey always seem to end up in a Crow.
[Chorus 1]
Should be easier than Dthis,
Should be easier than Emthis.
[Interlude]
Em D Bm C Em D Bm C D Em
[Verse]
EmIt should be easier than Dthis by now,
BmKnowin' what I Cdo.
EmAnd now the rivers risin' Dat my door,
BmAnd the waters blowin' Cthrough.
[Chorus 1]
Should be easier than Dthis,
Should be easier than Emthis.
[Bridge 1]
CShould be light instead of Ddark,
CShould be warm instead of Dcold.
EmLike an old tree in a Cpark,
Ever gracefull growin' Emold.
[Chorus 2]
Should be easier than Cthis,
Should be easier than Emthis.
[Interlude]
Em D Bm C Em D Bm C D Em
[Verse]
EmShould be simple at this Dstage of the game,
BmWorkin' for nikels and Cdimes.
EmI got nobody else Dbut myself to blame,
And Bmthat's why I'm so lonesome all the Ctime.
[Chorus 1]
Should be easier than Dthis,
Should be easier than Emthis.
[Bridge 2]
CShould be high instead of Dlow,
CShould be up instead of Ddown.
EmIn a long CadilClac,
Crusin' through this Emtown.
[Chorus 2]
Should be easier than Cthis,
Should be easier than Emthis.
[Interlude]
Em D Bm C Em D Bm C D Em
[Verse]
EmShould be easy when I Dlook in your eyes,
BmTo never feel aClone.
EmIt oughta be simple hell, DI shouldn't have to try,
BmTo give your love at Chome.
End
Just to hold on to your Dkiss,
Should be easier than Emthis,
Should be easier than Cthis,
Should be easier than Emthis,
Should be easier than Cthis,
It Should be easier than Emthis.
Should be, Cshould be easier than Emthis.
