[Intro]
D
D G

[Chorus]
D
You want someone who wants you for who you are, I want someone to try and let me down
G
easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight

[Verse]
D
Honey, it’s no secret that with matters of the heart, I’m reserved, I’m irrational and rarely ever start
          G                                   Em                         G
Since the world’s dark and often inhumane, we relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
               D
‘Cause you remember when, after Paris, we all decided the best way to fight it was
G
Drink wine, dance, heal and pray, and make love that lasts with a vengeance
D
So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train
                                                    G
You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave
                                             Em                   G
And scratch a little itch 'til you’re moving like a motherfucker, up in this bitch

[Chorus]
D
You wanted to fight for a cause? Then go out and fall in love
G
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing, In truth, in grace, and in grievance
D
You want someone to want you for who you are, I want someone to try and let me down
G
easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight

[Break]
D G

[Verse]
D
So leave me and tell me what I already know, that I trialled and I failed and it’s good to let it go
          G                                   Em                     G
Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame, Not everything’s as easy as making lemonade
       D
And so dismembering our state of balance, with lust requited, a gaze undivided
       G
With a cool mind, warmth in your face, a good heart, grace under pressure
D                                                                                                G
Give me a good reason to be heartsick again, to be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged
                                     Em                      G
From a loss of better years, I found myself descending into tedium and fear

[Chorus]
D
You wanted to fight for a cause? Then go out and fall in love
G
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing, In truth, in grace, and in grievance
D
You want someone to want you for who you are, I want someone to try and let me down
G
easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight

[Bridge]
A                    Bm                   G
If it’s late, you’re drunk, and you want, a reason, some reason to live
A         Bm            G                             D
I always, I always say 'Just put on some Whitesnake'

[Verse]
D
Honey, it’s no secret that I’ve been losing my way, in the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
            G                                      Em                        G
But hey, I’m still young, it’s gonna be okay, I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
     D
I’ll surrender then, all my balance, and be excited and drink to tonight
           G
It’s not a bad time, time spent with you, there’s cool lights, there's songs with good lyrics
D
We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you, but since you’re putting up with me
                             G
Here’s another toast just to you, let’s dance off the beat
         Em                      G
Then mosey out together and take a bow on the street

[Chorus]
D
You wanted to fight for a cause? Then go out and love someone
G
Don’t stop, don’t stop believing, In truth and personal freedom
D
I want someone to want me for who I am, I want someone to try and let me down
G                   Em    G
easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight

[Outro]
D
Easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
G
Easy, easy tonight, easy, easy tonight
