C                 C
No one knew you back in high school
           Am               Am
Now you're barely twenty-two
C             C             Am            Am
You had your whole entire life ahead of you
C             C
 Left town on the Greyhound
            Am                       Am
Cuz there's no love where you grew up
C             C                Am             Am
 They always told you you were never good enough

[Pre-Chorus]
    F      G           C      Am
But why oh why are you making it
        F      G     Am
Are you making it so hard?

[Chorus]
G    C    C
  Be easy on yourself
   G    G
Be easy on yourself
  Am    F
Be easy on yourself
    C             G       C
Cuz nobody's been easy on you

[Verse 2]
C                     C              Am               Am
 You leave it all behind, you didn't need to travel far
C              C                     Am                 Am
 You may have lost yourself, but you found yourself a bar
         C                        C
Yeah you got some boys, you were an easy choice
        Am                Am
But you didn't seem to mind
C            C             Am                  Am
 You got attention and you didn't care what kind

[Pre-Chorus]
    F      G           C      Am
But why oh why are you making it
        F      G     Am
Are you making it so hard?

[Chorus]
G    C    C
  Be easy on yourself
   G    G
Be easy on yourself
  Am    F
Be easy on yourself
    C             G       C
Cuz nobody's been easy on you
Am G      F   F   C
   Easy on you
Am G      F   F
   Easy on you

[Verse 3]
C                 C                  Am          Am
 Started selling everything from a corner anywhere
C             C                  Am                Am
 You got nothing to lose and you're too young to care
         C                       C
Well the men in blue, yeah, they searched you
        Am                    Am
And you knew you were going down
C             C                Am             Am
 You rather die than deal with working it around

[Post-Chorus]
    F      G           C      Am
But why oh why are you making it
        F      G     Am
Are you making it so hard?

[Chorus]
G    C    C
  Be easy on yourself
   G    G
Be easy on yourself
  Am    F
Be easy on yourself
    C             G       C
Cuz nobody's been easy on you
Am G      F   F   C
   Easy on you
Am G      F   F
   Easy on you

[Instrumental]
|Am   |Am   |G   |G   |

[Outro]
F     F
 Easy on yourself
    G             G       C
Cuz nobody's been easy on you
