[Intro]
  G C D/F# G G/A G/B C D/F# G Gsus4 G

[Verse]
G                      C                D/F#                      G         G/A  G/B
Standin' barefoot on a cold wood floor, lookin' out the window of my back door
C                           D/A                          G                 D  
   If it keeps on rainin' I think the whole damn house is gonna float away 
G                              C               D/A                    G
  The alarm was buzzin' at the  break of dawn,  my husband's askin', "Is the coffee on?"
G/A G/B C     D                           G      Gsus4  G
          And easy's gettin' harder every day

[Verse]
     G                    C                D/F#                           G
I'll drop the baby off at  school at nine,  and bust the lights to get to work on time
      G/B     C                   G/B D/A                   G            D
Where I'll be starin' at the clock     waitin' to knock off  another day 
G                                C           G/B  D/A                                  G
 Supper's done, we'll watch some  TV show of a    bunch of folks who've never heard  of Idaho
G/A G/B C       D                           G    Gsus4  G
          Where easy's gettin' harder every day

[Chorus]
 G G/A G/B C                     D              G                         C
            I had a garden but my  flowers died,  there ain't much livin' here inside
G                                        D
  Lately, I don't know what I'm hold-in' on to
D/F# D/G D/A  G                          C             G/B D/A                       G
              Wished I could run away to  Coeur d'Alene,   take nothing with me, not even my name
G/A G/B C       D                           G    Gsus4  G
         'Cause easy's gettin' harder every day

[Instrumental]
G C D G C D D/C G/B G

[Verse]
G                       C                D/F#                     G         
We make love and then we kiss goodnight,   he rolls over and he's out like a light
G/A G/B C                         D/A                        G                 D  
         But I ain't mad about it,  we got nothing to talk a-bout anyway 
G                               C          G/B D/A                                       G        G/A G/B
 The lights are blinkin' on the radio tower,      and I lie awake and stare at them  for hours and hours
C     D                           G    Gsus4  G
  For easy's gettin' harder every day

[Chorus]
 G G/A G/B C                      D            G                         C
            I had a garden but my flowers died,  there ain't much livin' here inside
G                                        D
  Lately, I don't know what I'm hold-in' on to
D/F# D/G D/A G                             C             G/B D/A                              G          G/A 
               But I'll never make it up to Coeur d'Alene,     there ain't no chance of me forgetting my name
G/B  C       D                           G    Gsus4  G
         And easy's gettin' harder every day

[Outro]
       G/A   G/B   C     G/B  D/A                    G          D G
And it feels like  easy, just keeps on gettin' harder  every day
