    IT AIN'T EASY BEING EASY             Janie Fricke

     G                                         D           G                              D
Surely you can sit down for a while      Maybe you can even  smile
            A                                 Bm                    G                                        A
And I'll try to pretend that  you love me again   But it might take me  a little while
G                                          D      G                                               D
I know you'll be holding me tight  You'll know when the moment is right
                        A                        Bm                                G                         A
When I was broken in two it was all because of  you But baby I need you tonight

Chorus:
             D               G         D     D7                                        G
It ain't easy being easy  Oh no  You're the one who took my heart and my soul
           G                              A                                                  D
You walk away and left me out of control     It ain't easy being easy  Oh no
   A                                           D                                                   G       
(No it ain't) Easy when you're needing someone it ain't easy being under the gun
                                     A                                                     D
But I'll surrender even though I should run It  ain't easy being easy

Ending only.....It ain't easy being easy   oooh It ain't easy being easy.

G                                 D               G                                  D
I might end up lonely again     But once you were my only friend  
            A                                  Bm                        G              Em         A
So I'll hold you and cry with the truth in my eyes Hoping you'll love me again.

Chorus
