It don't come easy,  You know it don't come easy.     (x2)

(Verse 1)   
D                           Am
Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
        C                  D                             Am
And you know it don't come easy. You don't have to shout or leap about
                       
        C              D     F                                  G
You can even play them easy. Forget about the past and all your sorrow.

The future won't last, It will soon be over tomorrow.

I don't ask for much I only want trust and you know it don't come easy.

D                           Am                           C
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time And you know it just
