Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I've been takin' it easy too long

Sticking around this lonesome town

 Like a bird that just won't fly

 Oh why can't I just get over you?

 What'll I do?

I've been takin' it easy too long

Hanging around in a reckless way

 Drinkin' whiskey on the tracks

 All of the plans I've made just pass away

 Never again

 Cos there's wasted hours and there's wasted days

 I'm gonna waste a few more if I get my way

 Cos takin' it easy ain't the easy way after a while

I've been takin' it easy too long

Waitin' for a woman when I should've been gone

 Like a song that ain't been sung

 That's what my life's become

 Sittin' in my car

 Look at the stars

 Cos there's a million stars in the sky at night

 You get lost if you don't shine too bright

 And I've been takin' it easy most every night

 For far too long

I've been takin' it easy too long
