G                   C         G 
I've been takin' it easy too long 
G          C         G       Dm 
Sticking around this lonesome town 
       C             Csus2  Am 
Like a bird that just won't fly 
   G        Am          C     
Oh why can't I just get over you? 
          G 
What'll I do? 

G                    C       G 
I've been takin' it easy too long 
G          C        G       Dm 
Hanging around in a reckless way 
           C            Am 
Drinkin' whiskey on the tracks 
           G          Am             C 
All of the plans I've made just pass away 
       G 
Never again 

            C                        Am 
Cos there's wasted hours and there's wasted days 
         C                      Am 
I'm gonna waste a few more if I get my way 
    G                        C                G 
Cos takin' it easy ain't the easy way after a while 

G                   C        G 
I've been takin' it easy too long 
G             C            G             Dm 
Waitin' for a woman when I should've been gone 
        C                   Am 
Like a song that ain't been sung 
               G       Am 
That's what my life's become 
         C 
Sittin' in my car 
                G 
Look at the stars 

               C                   Am 
Cos there's a million stars in the sky at night 
    C                      Am                           
You get lost if you don't shine too bright 
              G                   C 
And I've been takin' it easy most every night 
             G 
For far too long 

G                    C       G 
I've been takin' it easy too long
