F                                            Am C
Under the East, gotta leave, I need a way out
F                                            Am C
Lookin' at me, colourin' all of the lines now
F                                            Am C
You only break when you take the bend too far
F                                                 Am C
Don't like it fake, I relate, I think it's true love

      F                  G              Am
It's been a while since you and I been where we started
F              Am            G
I don't wanna let it fade away

Chorus:
               F
It used to be easy
                    Am                C
Now you can't even look at me in the eye
            F
A visceral feelin'
                  Am      C
That I can never leave behind
                    F
And it's under my skin, but I can't reach it
                         Am                  C
And you know where I've been, so we play pretend
               F                   Am C
It used to be easy, it used to be easy

I know it well, caramel, I feel the comedown
(Feel the comedown) Yeah
We've been to hell, I can tell we're slowin' down now
Oh, you bring up the past, didn't ask, give me the know-how
(I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
So we make it last, 'nother glass until we come 'round

It's been a while since you and I been where we started
I don't wanna let it fade away

Chorus:
It used to be easy
Now you can't even look me in the eye
A visceral feeling
That I can never leave behind
And it's under my skin, but I can't reach in
When you know where I've been, so we play pretend
It used to be easy
It used to be easy

F                    Am            C
Love like a landslide, I kiss you goodnight
F                    Am            C
Love like a landslide, I kiss you goodnight
               F  G Am C
It used to be easy
