EASY AS IT SEEMS
Paul Stanley/Vini Poncia

[Intro: Bass and drums only]
[Rhy. Fig 9a] (2x)

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9a] (3x)
I've been your lover for too many years
I'm through with wastin' my time
You been out runnin' without any fear
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
Tell me why, I wanna know the reason why

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9b] (2x)
(It's easy as it seems) 'Cause it's easy as it seems

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9a] (3x)
I keep on hearin' your road never bends
You ain't committin' no crime
I hear you're sleepin' with one of my friends
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
Tell me why, I wanna know the reason why

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9b] (2x)
(It's easy as it seems) 'Cause it's easy as it seems
[Rhy. Fig 3]
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9a] (2x)

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9b] (3x)
I played your boyfriend for too many years
You know it's drivin' me wild
I've seen you cryin' without any tears
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
Like a child, you wonder all the reasons why

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9b]
(It's easy as it seems) And it's easy as it seems
[Rhy. Fig 3]
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away

[Solo over Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Rhy. Fig 9a]

[Rhy. Fig 5]
If it takes forever, I don't mind, if it takes forever, I've got time
All that I wanna know, can you lay it on the line
'Cause if it takes forever, you know I'm gonna find out

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 9b]
(It's easy as it seems) Yeah it's easy as it seems
[Rhy. Fig 6]
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away, walk away

[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ Rhy. Fig 11]

[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 12]
(It's easy as it seems)
Oh it's easy (easy), easy as it seems
Yeah it's easy (easy), oh it's easy as it seems
(repeat and fade)
