[Intro]
D Gmaj7
[Chorus]
D
You want someone who wants you for who you are
Gmaj7
I want someone to try and let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Verse 1]
D
Honey, it's no secret that with matters of the heart
Unreserved, I'm irrational and rarely ever star
Gmaj7
But since the world's dark and often inhumane
We relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
D
Cause do you remember when, after Paris
We all decided the best way to fight it was
Gmaj7
Drink wine, dance, heal and pray
And make love that lasts with a vengeance
D
So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train
Gmaj7
You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave
And scratch a little itch 'til you're moving like a motherfucker
Up in this bitch
[Chorus]
D
You wanted to fight for a cause?
Then go out and fall in love
Gmaj7
Don't stop, don't stop believing
In truth, and grace in the grievance
D
You want someone to want you for who you are
Gmaj7
I want someone to try or let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
D Gmaj7
[Verse 2]
D
So look at me and tell me what I already know
That I trialled and I failed and it's good to let it go
Gmaj7
And sometimes life sucks and everything is lame
Not everything's as easy as making lemonade
D
And so dismembering our state of balance
With lust requited, a gaze undivided
Gmaj7
With a cool mind, warmth in your face
A good heart, grace under pressure
D
Give me a good reason to be heartsick again
Gmaj7
To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
From a loss and bitter years
I found myself descending into tedium and fear
[Chorus]
D
You wanted to fight for a cause?
Then go out and fall in love
Gmaj7
Don't stop, don't stop believing
In truth and grace in the grievance
D
You want someone to want you for who you are
Gmaj7
I want someone to try or let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Instrumental]
D Gmaj7
A Bm Gmaj7 (x2)
[Bridge]
A Bm
If it's late, you're drunk and wanting
Gmaj7
A reason, some reason to live
A Bm
I always, I always say
Gmaj7
Just put on some Whitesnake
D
[Verse 3]
D
Honey, it's no secret that I've been losing my way
In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
Gmaj7
But hey, I'm still young, and it's gonna be okay
I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
D
I'll surrender then, all my balance
And be excited and drink to tonight
Gmaj7
It's not a bad time, time spent with you
There's cool lights, and songs with good lyrics
D
We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you
But since you're putting up with me
Gmaj7
Here's another toast just to you
Let's dance off the beat
Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street
[Chorus]
D
You wanted to fight for a cause?
Then go out and love someone
Gmaj7
Don't stop, don't stop believing
In truth and personal freedom
D
I want someone to want me for who I am
Gmaj7
I want someone to try or let me down easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
[Outro]
D
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
Gmaj7
Easy, easy tonight
Easy, easy tonight
