Intro: C        Dm 

verse 1: 
                     G     Dm 
Ah, the living ain't easy  
                  G               Dm 
With all of these false emotions  
             G 
Too little devotion and I'm tired of just  
C 
Being alone, she's not the same  

She's a son of a gun, she's a red hot flame  
                                             Dm 
She lights the sun and conjures up the rain 


verse 2: 
              G        Dm 
Like any good gambler  
                   G              Dm 
I was chained to a wishing well  
                  G 
I keep wishing in vain, but listen friend  
C 
Don't look now, she's right behind you  

Looking for someone to take her inside  
                                        Dm 
It thrills her so, it's a rainbow ride 


verse 3: 
               G     Dm 
I'm a little uneasy  
                     G                Dm 
And there ain't much pride inside me  
                      G 
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you  
     C 
It's too late now, she's not the same  
                                                 Dm 
She's a red hot kid, she's a crying shame 


verse 4: 
               G           Dm 
Anytime is the right time  
                 G              Dm 
To get on with a new tomorrow  
                      G 
But I could never let yesterday go  
             C 
And when the falling rain makes me sad  

She comes to me in the dreams I've had  
                                            Dm 
In the morning light, in the dead of night 


VERSE 5: 
                     G      Dm 
Ah, the loving ain't easy  
                 G            Dm 
I let it get the best of me  
                      G 
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you  
     C 
It's too late now, she don't talk no more  

She don't make me feel like she did before  
                                                   Dm 
There's too much wait and too much give and take 


VERSE 6: 
               G     Dm 
I'm a little uneasy  
                     G                Dm 
And there ain't much pride inside me  
                      G 
She don't know how it hurts and I'm telling you  
     C 
It's too late now, she's not the same  

It's too late now, she's not the same  

It's too late now, she's not the same
