EASY AS IT SEEMS

[Bass Intro]
[Rhythm Fig. 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
I've been your lover for too many years, I'm through with wastin' my time
You been out runnin' without any fear, tell me why, I wanna know the reason why

[Rhythm Fig. 1] & [Rhythm Fig. 1a](2x)
(It's easy as it seems) 'Cause it's easy as it seems

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
I keep on hearin' your road never bends, you ain't committin' no crime
I hear you're sleepin' with one of my friends, tell me why
I wanna know the reason why

[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.1] & [Rhythm Fig. 3a w/end.1]
(It's easy as it seems) 'Cause it's easy as it seems
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away

[Rhythm Fig. 1a](2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
I played your boyfriend for too many years, you know it's drivin' me wild
I've seen you cryin' without any tears, like a child
You wonder all the reasons why

[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.1] & [Rhythm Fig. 3a w/end.1]
(It's easy as it seems) And it's easy as it seems
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away

[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig. 1a](4x)

[Rhythm Fig. 4]
If it takes forever, I don't mind, if it takes forever, I've got time
All that I wanna know, can you lay it on the line
'Cause if it takes forever, you know I'm gonna find out

[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.2] & [Rhythm Fig. 3a w/end.2]
(It's easy as it seems) Yeah it's easy as it seems
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away, walk away

[Rhythm Fig. 1] & [Rhythm Fig. 1a](Until Fade)
(It's easy as it seems) Oh it's easy (easy), easy as it seems
Yeah it's easy (easy), oh it's easy as it seems
Oh it's easy (easy), oh it's easy as it seems
Yeah it's easy (easy), easy as it seems... (to fade)
