C                Dm  F                         C
Life could be so easy if the loving weren't so hard
              Dm    F                   C
A heart given freely wasn't meant to be on guard
                        Em         F                     C
And the joy that living brings you, love worries for its own
                     Dm   F                          C
And life could be so easy, if the heart could find a home


                Dm     F                       C
Love could be a keeper, you might not think it so
                     Dm       F                 C
I've seen it burn so brightly, it melted fallen snow
                Em        F              C
Life lights the fire, but love feeds the flame
                  Dm   F                  C
When the loving's easy, the living is the same


          Dm      F                    C
Life is a teacher, she's not afraid to fail
                 Dm     F                   C
But love she's a healer, not a fighter or a jail
                    Em     F                       C
Life deals from the bottom, love holds the winning card
                     Dm   F                         C
And life could be so easy, if the loving weren't so hard


                Dm   F                               C
One without the other is like the house built on the sand
                Dm     F                            C
One day it will crumble and slip right through your hands
                    Em     F                 C
If life's worth the living, love's worth the pain
 Ab                       Dm   F                  C
'Cause when the living's easy, the loving is the same


                 Dm          F               C
Life could be so easy if the loving were the same
