Bryan Martin - If It Was Easy

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
G D Em7 C

[Verse 1]
G
I spent half my life down a dead-end road
D
This honky-tonk liven it’s all I know
Em7 C
I’m a rough neck that wrote a few songs
G
I gave it all I got to have what’s on my back

D
It’s a hard-earned dollar
D
When you make your own path
Em7 C
Ask my babies I’m never at home

[Chorus]
G
Cause if it was easy
D
I guess we’d all do it if its guaranteed
Em
There was nothin to lose but this trouble
C
Oh, this trouble is what makes you strong

G D
Cause it’s not like me to lay down and die, no
Em
Not after all the things that I’ve saw
C
Yeah, it keeps me hanging on
G
That’s what it takes to follow a song

[Solo]
G D Em C

[Verse 2]
G
I’ve been in some places I never should have gone
D
There’s a little bit of right and a whole lot of wrong
Em C
I was hell bound and lord knows I didn’t stand a chance
G
But he sent me an angel who was there all along

D
She’s still waiting there out back at home
Em
And these other girls lord knows
C
I never give them a second glance

[Chorus]
G
Cause if it was easy
D
I guess we’d all do it if its guaranteed
Em
There was nothin to lose but this trouble
C
Oh, this trouble is what makes you strong

G D
Cause it’s not like me to lay down and die, no
Em
Not after all the things that I’ve saw
C
Yeah, it keeps me hanging on
G
That’s what it takes to follow a song

[Solo]
G D Em C

[Chorus]
G
Cause if it was easy
D
I guess we’d all do it if its guaranteed
Em
There was nothin to lose but this trouble
C
Oh, this trouble is what makes you strong
