verse 1:
D
Staring at the footlights,
                                 G
going blind, I think it might be time.
                     D
I'm feeling a little tired.
             C     G/B    D  
But it's not easy, nor am I.

verse 2:
Shadows in the streetlights
making shapes, I think they might be signs
telling me to try
But it's not easy, nor am I.

chorus:
G                   D
I'm not easy in the summer
            A           D
and I'm not easy in the fall.
G                   D
I'm not easy in the wintertime.
     A                          D
Come springtime I'm not here at all.
         G         D               A              Bm
I'm just trying to write my mortal name up on the wall.
G                       A
Trying to live a little longer,
G                       A
trying to sing a little stronger.
G                       A         D
Trying to write my name up on the wall.

verse 3:
Checking the rear-view,
seeing things I thought I'd left behind.
They're heavy on my mind.
I wish it was easier and I wish I had the time.

chorus

coda:
         C     G/B    D
It's not easy, nor am I.
         C     G/B    D
It's not easy, nor am I.
        C     G/B  A  D
I'm not easy.
