D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
     A7                           G              D   
THE LIVIN' AND THE LOVIN' ARE NOT EASY THINGS TO DO 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,

THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE A FRIEND TO YOU. 


verse 1. 

D                 D7       G              Em 
When I awoke this mornin', you were on my mind 
A7                             G                    D 
Sometimes we have moments when good news is hard to find 
D               D7          G             Em 
No one knows exactly what another's goin' through 
    A7                                G         A7    D 
But singin' you these simple words is something I can do 

 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
     A7                          G              D   
THE LIVIN' AND THE LOVIN' ARE NOT EASY THINGS TO DO 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
       A7                           D 
THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE A FRIEND TO YOU. 


verse 2. 

D                     D7                G   
I know that you lost something that you loved with all your  
Em 
Heart 
  A7                               G            D   
I know how the grieving feels like tearing you apart 
D              D7                  G  
Just remember something that might ease you through the  
Em 
Pain 
A7                                 G          A7      D 
There are those who'll carry you until you're whole again 

 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
     A7                          G              D   
THE LIVIN' AND THE LOVIN' ARE NOT EASY THINGS TO DO 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
       A7                           D 
THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE A FRIEND TO YOU.
 

verse 3. 

D             D7            G                Em    
Only you can understand the load you have to bear 
A7                           G             D 
All a friend can offer is to try to take a share 
D                  D7              G                Em    
Friends are all we have and I just want to help you see 
  A7                              G          A7       D 
However hard it gets for you, you have that friend in me 

 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
     A7                          G              D   
THE LIVIN'AND THE LOVIN' ARE NOT EASY THINGS TO DO 
D        D7                G  Em 
IT AIN'T EASY, NO IT AIN'T EASY,  
       A7                           D 
THAT'S WHY I WANT TO BE A FRIEND TO YOU.
