Jason Isbell - Relatively Easy

Capo 4

D2 D D D D2 D2  D4 D D2 G (G5)
D2 D D D D2 D2  D4 D D2 G

                  D2   D
Are you having a long day
D D   D2 D2     D4    D  D2         G (G5)
Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way
                                 D2  D
Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray
D D       D2   D2   D4   D   D2     G (G2)
Morning bells are ringing in your ear

                       D2    D
Is your brother on a church kick
D     D     D2 D2 D4   D     D2      G (G5)
Seems like just a different kind of dopesick
                             D2    D
Better off to teach a dog a card trick
     D   D  D2  D2 D4    D   D2       G  (G2)       
Than try to have a point and make it clear
(A)
Bm          A                 G             F#m
You should know, compared to people on a global scale
Em                  F#m        G
Our kind has had it relatively easy
(A)  Bm        A                 G                  F#m
And here with you there's always something to look forward to
    Em                  F#m      G
My angry heart beats relatively easy

D2 D D D D2 D2  D4 D D2 G (G5)

          D2    D
I lost a good friend,
      D D  D2 D2       D4    D  D2       G (G5)
At Christmastime when folks go off the deep end
                                    D2  D
His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin
D D       D2  D2 D4  D  D2     G (G2)
Enough to kill a man of twice his size
 
        A      Bm
Not for me to understand
                           A      G
Remember him when he was still a proud man
                              A      Bm
A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand
                         A   G (G2)
Nothing but the blue sky in his eyes
(A)
Bm          A               G           F#m
Still, compared to those a stones-throw away from you,
   Em               F#m              G
Our lives have both been relatively easy
(A)  Bm       A               G                  F#m
Take a year and make a break there ain't that much at stake
Em                      F#m      G
The answers could be relatively easy

D2 D D D D2 D2  D4 D D2 G (x2)

Em               F#m   G
Watch that lucky man walk to work again
    D                         A (Asus2)
He may not have a friend left in the world
Em               F#m   G
See him walking home again to sleep alone
        D                       A (Asus2)
I step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl

            D2   D
I broke the law boys,
D D   D2 D2   D4     D  D2         G (G5)
shooting out the windows of my loft, boys
                                 D2    D
When they picked me up, I made a big noise
D D   D2 D2    D4  D D2      G (G2)
Everything to blame except my mind
(A)
Bm        A                 G            F#m
I should say, I keep your picture with me every day
    Em              F#m          G
The evenings now are relatively easy
A    Bm       A                  G                  F#m
And here with you there's always something to look forward to
   Em                   F#m       G
My lonely heart beats relatively easy
   Em                   F#m       G
My lonely heart beats relatively easy

This is how I play it:
At this part: "D2  D DD D2D2  D4 D D2 G," the "DD D2D2 D4 D D2" is quick single upstrokes.  
The G(5)'s alternate between G5 and G.  At the G(2)'s play G(2), then down to G
(0) I will call it (3x000x), back to G(2).  
The (A)'s in the chorus are basically just the open A string for one beat before the next chord.  
Listen to the song to get the timing.  

Chords used:
D2 = xx00230 (Dsus2)
D4 = xx00233 (Dsus4)
