Song: Almost Easy
Artist: Ward Thomas
Album: Cartwheels
Tuning: 1/2 step down
I couldn't find the lyrics for this anywhere so
I've done my best by ear. This whole thing is tabbed
by ear and watching videos of them playing live
(UPDATE: after much listening to this I've realised
that the actual song is 1/2 down. So you can either
re-tune your guitar to Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb OR hit
transpose -1 OR hit transpose +1 and stick a capo on 1)

[Intro] Em | Cadd9 | G | G x2
[verse 1]
Em Cadd9 G
Every whispered word you spoke
Em Cadd9 G
Felt like a feather-light brushstroke
Em Cadd9 G
On the paintings my heart hoped
D
Would come to life someday
Em Cadd9 G
All the plans we dreamed about
Em Cadd9 G
We'd imagine them out loud
Em Cadd9 G
All in colour oh but now
D Dsus4 D
I watch them fade away
[Chorus]
G C
If I was only losing you,
Em
Goodbye wouldn't be so brutal;
C
It would be almost easy but
G C
We built castles in the clouds,
Em
We planned a thousand futures out,
C
Now you're packing up and leaving,
D Am
And every dream that never came true,
C * G
Oooh wish I was only losing you,
G
[Verse 2]
Em Cadd9 G
Your whole family are friends,
Em Cadd9 G
Don't know what I'll do without them,
Em
That perfect dress that I will never wear,
Cadd9
The nights that we will never share,
G D Dsus4 D
The love that I get used to seeing
[Chorus]
G C
If I was only losing you,
Em
Goodbye wouldn't be so brutal;
C
It would be almost easy but
G C
We built castles in the clouds,
Em
We planned a thousand futures out,
C
Now you're packing up and leaving,
D Am
And every dream that never came true,
C * G
Oooh wish I was only losing you,
G
[Bridge]
Am Em
The girl I was with you, was my best self
G D
Now I'm watching her become someone else
[Chorus]
G * c *
If I was only losing you,
Em *
Goodbye wouldn't be so brutal;
C * (getting louder)
It would be almost easy but
G C
We built castles in the clouds,
Em
We planned a thousand futures out,
C
Now you're packing up and leaving,
D Am
And every dream that never came true,
D Am
Every dream that never came truUue
C * G *
Oooh wish I was only losing you,
[end]
