                 Am      C/E  F
We keep on going up and down
                 F             G
Wasting all our time, wishing we'd stayed on the
 Am
sidelines
                    Am      C/E  F
Bet you would have left by now,
                     F              G     Am
if you had seen the signs from the very beginning

                      Am          Em     F
Can't tell if we're a masterpiece or catastrophe
          F            G          Am
Oh, I'm sorry for the confusion I keep
on causin' yea
    Am                    Em     F
My mind is playing tricks on my heart
          F                G          Am
Yeah, my mind is playing tricks on my heart

                    Am Em F
I wish that it was easy
                    G                   Dm
I wish that lovin' me wouldn't feel so hard
                    Am Em F
I wish that it was easy
                    G                    Dm
I wish that loving me was a walk in the park

I wish that it was
  Am   Em     F     F     G     Am
(Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was
 Am    Em     F     F     G     Am
(Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy)

Keep thinking we should take it back
Rewind all the tapes, all the memories we made
You feeling that you're under attack
With all the things I keep throwing at your face

Can't tell if we're a masterpiece or catastrophe, oh
I'm sorry for the confusion I keep on causing
My mind is playing tricks on my heart
Yeah, my mind is playing tricks on my heart

Chorus

I wish that it was
(Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was
(Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was

   Em  F                       G    Am
I don't know if we're a masterpiece or catastrophe,
no
   Em  F                       G     Am
I don't know why it's hard to love, hard to love me,
no
   Em  F                       G    Am
I don't know if we're a masterpiece or catastrophe,
no
   Em  F                      G     Am
I don't know why I'm hard to love, hard to love

Chorus:
I wish that it was
(Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was
(Easy, easy, easy, easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was
(Easy, easy, easy)
I wish it was, I wish it was easy, easy
(Easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was
(Easy, easy, easy)
I wish it was, I wish it was easy, easy
(Easy, easy, easy)
I wish that it was
