It used to be so eas y to be your (A)lov er.

We wan dered through the days like they had no (A)end.

But now that you are gone, I’m un der (A)cov er.

I just can’t think a bout you as a (A)friend.

Take it (D)eas y on me.

It should be (A)eas y to see

I’m get ting (F#m)lost in the crowd.

Hear me (E)cry in’ out loud.

Just (D)want you to know,

I (A)know that you have to go.

It’s (B)all up to you, but what ev er you do, take it (Dm6)eas y on me.

So now I’ll go the min strel road with out (A)you.

I know there will be times when I’ll need you (A)there.

And each night as I sing those songs a bout (A)you,

I’ll think back to the time when you used to care.

Take it (D)eas y on me.

It should be (A)eas y to see

I’m get ting (F#m)lost in the crowd.

Hear me (E)cry in’ out loud.

Just (D)want you to know,

I (A)know that you have to go.

It’s (B)all up to you, but what ev er you do, take it (Dm6)eas y on me.

Take it eas y one me.

Oh, ba by, (D)don’t

leave me (A)cry in’.

Should be eas y to see

I’ve (D)need ed you for so (A)long.

Just one more chance with you,

one more chance, will you?

Take a chance.

Come on and (E)take a chance.

Take it

It’s (B7)still up to you, but what ev er you do,

take it eas y on me.
