(Ray Sawyer/Shel Silverstein)
I:
B E F# B
Well here I am in the wind again, floating where it takes me
B E F# B
Laughin' and a splashin' in the summer sun, until the alarm clock awakes me
B E F# B
Then it's coffee and a kiss and two cigarettes, and I'm back out in the cold, cold weather
B E F# B
Chasin' my dream but I just can't seem to rub two coins together (Sing it!)
Chorus:
B E
Life ain't easy, (they never said it would be)
B E
Life ain't easy, (whoever said it should be)
B F# F#7
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
B E
Life ain't easy, (tell me all about it)
B E
Life ain't easy, (no, no, no, no)
B F# B
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, for you or me
II:
B E F# B
That woman, she won't understand, the way my mind keeps driftin'
E F# B
And the Lord don't always lend a hand, when my poor heart needs liftin'
E F# B
Is home and kids really all there is, or is there something better?
E F# B
And how much soul must a poor man sell to rub two coins together?
(Don't you know that)
Chorus(fading at the end):
B E
Life ain't easy, (no, no, no, no)
B E
Life ain't easy, (whoever said it would be)
B F# F#7
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
B E
Life ain't easy, (can you hear me)
B E
Life ain't easy, (tell me all about it)
B F# F#7
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
B E
Life ain't easy, (tell me all about it)
B E
Life ain't easy, (no, no, no, no)
B F# F#7
Life ain't easy, and nothing comes free, free, free, free
B E
Life ain't easy
B E
Life ain't easy...
