E              A                 E          A
Hey girl, what can I do with you
                 E                            A                F#         Ab
When you take this ol' heart and tear it in two
        C#m                 B               Abm       A
Is it asking so much for you to be true
           F#m            Abm         A                Bm
I'm an easy going man who takes all that he can

B
But I tell you
E           B      A             B
It's not easy loving you, baby
E           B      A             B
It's not easy wanting you so
E           B      A             B
It's not easy loving you, baby
             Abm    B        A         E 
But it's harder, girl, to let you go
F#m      Abm     A         E
Harder, girl, to let you go


E              A                 E          A
Girl, I give everything I've got inside
                 E                            A                F#         Ab
How much more do you need to keep you satisfied
        C#m                 B               Abm       A
I put up with so much, Lord knows I've tried
           F#m            Abm         F#m            B       A
And in spite of all the pain, I try not to complain


B
But I tell you
E           B      A             B
It's not easy loving you, baby
E           B      A             B
It's not easy wanting you so
E           B      A             B
It's not easy loving you, baby
             Abm    B        A         E 
But it's harder, girl, to let you go
F#m      Abm     A         E
Harder, girl, to let you go


It's not easy loving you, baby
No, it's not easy
It's not easy loving you so
Loving you, baby
It's not easy loving you, baby
It's not easy
Loving you so ........FADE
