Patty Griffin - When It Dont Come Easy

when it don’t come easy – music and lyrics by patty griffin ( capo : 1 )

C G
red lights are flashing on a highway – i wonder if we’re gonna ever get home
F C
i wonder if we’re gonna ever get home tonight
C G
everywhere the water’s getting rough – your best intentions may not be enough
F C
i wonder if we’re gonna ever get home tonight

F C
but if you break down , i’ll drive out and find you
F C
if you forget my love , i’ll try to remind you
Dm F C
i’ll stay by you when it don’t come easy , when it don’t come easy

C G
i don’t know nothing except change will come – year after year what we do is undone
F C
time gets moving from a crawl to a run – i wonder if we’re gonna ever get home
C G
you’re out there walking down a highway – and all of the signs got blown away
F C
sometimes you wonder if you’re walking in the wrong direction

F C
but if you break down , i’ll drive out and find you
F C
if you forget my love , i’ll try to remind you
Dm F C
i’ll stay by you when it don’t come easy , when it don’t come easy

G F C
so many things that i’ve had before – they don’t matter to me now
G F C
tonight i cry for the love that i’ve lost – and the love i’ve never found
Dm F
and when the last bird falls – and the last siren sounds
C G F
someone will say what’s been said before – it’s only love that we’re looking for

F C
but if you break down , i’ll drive out and find you
F C
if you forget my love , i’ll try to remind you
Dm F C
i’ll stay by you when it don’t come easy , when it don’t come easy
( repeat chorus )
