Easy As Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]This is the moment
[Eb]when the gods ex[D]pect me
To [Gm]beg for help but I won't even t[Bb]ry
[Eb]I want nothing in the world
but my[Dsus4]self to prot[D]ect me
But [Eb]I won't lie down,
roll over [D]and die

[Interlude 1]
[D][Gm][D][Cm][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
[Gm]All I have to do is to forget
how much [Cm]I love him
[F]All I have to do is put my
longing to one [Gm]side
Tell myself that love's an ever-
changing [C]situation
[Cm]Passion would [Eb]have cooled and all
the magic would have [D]died[Dsus4]
[D]It's

[Verse 3]
easy, it's [Cm]easy[D]
All I have to do is to pretend
I never knew him
On those [Gm]very rare occasions when
he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were
barely binding
Better the contempt of the
familiar cannot start

[Verse 4]
It's easy, it's easy [Eb]Un
til I think about him as he was
when I [F]last [D]touched [Dsus4]him[D]
[Eb]And how he would have been were
I to be with him [D]today
[Ab]Those [Fm]very rare [G]occasions,
don't let up, they keep on coming
[Fm]All I ever wanted and I'm
throwing it away
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
It's [Eb]easy, [D]it's eas[Cm]y[Eb][D]
[Gm]as l[Cm]ife[Dsus4][D][Gm]
And then I see the [Cm]faces [F]of
a worn defeated people
[Gm]A father and a nation who won't
let a coward run
Is this how the gods [C]reward[Cm]
[Eb]the faithful through the ages?
Forcing [D]us [Dsus4]to prove [D]that all the[Cm]
[Eb]hard[D]est things we've done
[Gm]Are easy, so easy

[Verse 6]
An[Eb]d though I'll think about him until the
earth draws [D]in around [Dsus4]me[D]
And [Eb]though I choose to leave him for
another kind of [D]love[Dsus4][D]
[Ab]This is no [Fm]denial, no betrayal,
but re[G]demption
Re[Fm]deemed in my own eyes and
in the pan[Ab]theon above
[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]
It's [Eb]easy, [D]it's eas[Eb]y as [D]life
It's [Eb]easy as life
[D]It's easy as [Gm]life

[Outro 1]
