I’m easy (1975) (video) (midi)

Dm - Am

- - - - - - Dm G C

1. It's not my way to love you just 'coz no one's lookin',

Dm G C

it's not my way to take your hand if I'm not sure.

Dm G C F

It's not my way to let you see what's goin' on inside of me,

Dm G - G7

when it's a love you won't be needing, you're not free.

- - - - - - - - Dm G C

2. Please, stop pulling at my sleeve if you're just playin'.

Dm G C

if you won't take the things you make me want to give.

Dm G C F

I never care too much for games and this one's drivin' me insane,

Dm G - G7

you're not half as free to wander as you claim.

C - F Dm

But I'm easy, yeah, I'm easy,

Em

give the word, I'll play your games,

F C - F - C

as though that's how it ought to be, because I'm easy.

- - - - - - - - Dm G C

3. Don't lead me on, if there's nowhere for you to take me,

Dm G C

if lovin' you will have to be a sometimes thing.

Dm G C F

I can't put bars on my insides, my love is somethin' can't hide,

Dm G - G7

it still hurts when I recall the times I've cried.

C - F Dm

But I'm easy, yeah, I'm easy,

Em

take my hands and pull me down

F C - F - C

I won't put up any fight, because I'm easy.

- - - - - - - - Dm G C

4. Don't do me favours, let me watch you from a distance,

Dm G C

'cause when you're near I find it hard to keep my head.

Dm G

And when your eyes throw light at mine,

C F

it's enough to change my mind,

Dm G

make me leave my cautious words and ways behind.

C - F Dm

That's why I'm easy, yeah, I'm easy.

Em F

say you want me, I'll come runnin', without takin' time to think.

C - F Dm

But I'm easy, yeah, I'm easy,

Em

take my hands and pull me down

F C - F Dm

I won't put up any fight, because I'm easy, yeah, I'm easy,

Em

give the word, I'll play your games,

F C

as though that's how it ought to be, because I'm easy.
