I [A]
[B] [G] [Am]
[A] [F#] [A]
know, [E] but I've been around a [A] long time
Long enough to know, okay, just to [E] stay in my house
Stay in my home, [A] some things just get better
I [D]
[Am] [A] know,
[E] but I've been around a [Am] long time
I've [A] seen it all, you know, [E] you don't have no [A] money
I've [Am] been to the shop, I've been to [A] the store
I've seen it all, [C#]
[E] if [A] you don't do nothing, you don't have to do it
[D] And you won't have to live with us, [F#] can't forget, I [A] had all of my [E] other [C] [A] problems
[Am]
[A] Well, some people say it's [E] better to give to you [A] than to give to me
[Am] But [A] I don't want to live it up as long as I'm [E] with you
[F#m] [E] [A]
I've heard that [D] it's hard to find a steady, easy guy
[A] I know,
[E] but I've been around [A] a long time
[Am] [D] Keep your expectations under [Am] control
[A] [D] And you just might surprise yourself
[E] But be there for you, girl
[A] Don't hold too tight, let it all out the way
[D] I keep my distance, [F#] [G#] [A] I ain't no fool

[D] Keep your expectations under control
I [A] know, [E] but I've been around a [A] long [B]
[A] [B] time
[A] [E]
Who else said it was easy?
[A] Ain't never been in [B] love
You know my [E] brother's got a bone to walk
[A] He ain't hurt
[B]
And [E] if he goes, I can teach him a [A] thing
Who else said [B] it was easy?
I didn't [C#m] love you
I'm straight to my head
[A] [E] And I'm in a mood, a hundred percent
[B] I'm proud, but there's no one I'm sorry [E] about
Yeah, you talk about a message
But I still ain't got [A] a clue
[B] That ain't all the answers you're about
There's so much more
Who [E] else said it was easy?
[A]
Ain't never been [B] in love
You know my brother's [C#m] got a bone to [A] walk
He ain't [B] hurt
And [E] if he goes, I know he's a mystery
And I can teach [G] him [A] a thing
[F#m] Who [A] else [B] said it was easy?
I didn't [E] love you
[A] [B]
[E] [A] [B]
[Em] [E] I'm
[A]
[B] [E]
[F#m] [E] down in a room and I ain't even here
[A] Talkin' about the world
[E]
I don't know how to read you
[B] I never find the one right the way I [E] do
I'm in a better place, I'm gonna put the [G#] sunshade [A] on now
You [B] get enough of all that stuff
Every day I want to run
[F#] I'm telling you
[G] [A] That you and [B] I
Know [A] my brother's got a bone to walk
He ain't hurt
[B] And [E] if he goes, I know he's a mystery
And I can teach him a thing
[A] Who else [B] said it was easy?
I didn't [E] love you
[B] Who else did it with me?
