Willie Nelson - Forgiving You Was Easy

C
forgiving you was easy but forgetting
F
seems to take the longest time
G7
i just keep thinking
C
and your memory is forever on my mind

you know i’ll always love you
F
and i can’t forget the days when you were mine
G7
forgiving you is easy
C
but forgetting seems to take the longest time

the bitter fruit of anger growing
F
growing from the seeds of jealousy
G7
oh what a heartache but i forgive
C
the things you said to me

cause i believe forgiving
F
is the only way that i’ll find peace of mind
G7
and forgiving you is easy
C
but forgetting seems to take the longest time

the years have passed so quickly as once again
F
fate steals a young man’s dreams
G7
of all the golden years
C
and growing old together you and me

you asked me to forgive you
F
you said there was another on your mind
G7
forgiving you is easy
C
but forgetting seems to take the longest time

G7
forgiving you is easy
C
but forgetting seems to take the longest time
