Capo 2
G C G
I've been takin' it easy too long
G C G Dm
Sticking around this lonesome town
C Csus2 Am
Like a bird that just won't fly
G Am C
Oh why can't I just get over you?
G
What'll I do?
G C G
I've been takin' it easy too long
G C G Dm
Hanging around in a reckless way
C Am
Drinkin' whiskey on the tracks
G Am C
All of the plans I've made just pass away
G
Never again
C Am
Cos there's wasted hours and there's wasted days
C Am
I'm gonna waste a few more if I get my way
G C G
Cos takin' it easy ain't the easy way after a while
G C G
I've been takin' it easy too long
G C G Dm
Waitin' for a woman when I should've been gone
C Am
Like a song that ain't been sung
G Am
That's what my life's become
C
Sittin' in my car
G
Look at the stars
C Am
Cos there's a million stars in the sky at night
C Am
You get lost if you don't shine too bright
G C
And I've been takin' it easy most every night
G
For far too long
G C G
I've been takin' it easy too long
