When It Don't Come Easy - Music and lyrics by Patty Griffin (Capo: 1)
C G
Red lights are flashing on a highway - I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
F C
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
C G
Everywhere the water's getting rough - Your best intentions may not be enough
F C
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
F C
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
F C
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
Dm F C
I'll stay by you when it don't come easy, When it don't come easy
C G
I don't know nothing except change will come - Year after year what we do is undone
F C
Time gets moving from a crawl to a run - I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
C G
You're out there walking down a highway - And all of the signs got blown away
F C
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
F C
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
F C
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
Dm F C
I'll stay by you when it don't come easy, When it don't come easy
G F C
So many things that I've had before - They don't matter to me now
G F C
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost - And the love I've never found
Dm F
And when the last bird falls… - and the last siren sounds
C G F
Someone will say what's been said before - It's only love that we're looking for
F C
But if you break down, I'll drive out and find you
F C
If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you
Dm F C
I'll stay by you when it don't come easy, When it don't come easy
(REPEAT CHORUS)
