IT WAS SO EASY 
 
 
     C             F 
I remember a time romping thrugh the woods; 
 G                                C 
sun against our skin instead of clothes. 
    
When we felt hungry we would eat; 
               F 
when we felt glad we'd dance 
        G                             C 
and whenever we felt drowsy we would doze. 
 
    
          F               Bb 
It was so easy then, never taking any stands. 
          F                   G 
It was so easy then, holding hands. 
 
 
     C                      F 
I remember a time when our fears could be named 
     G                          C 
and courage meant not refusing dares. 
    
I remember when we took such cares 
         F 
to step never on the grass no, only in the squares, 
   G                             C 
or else we'd be abducted by the bears. 
    
 
          F                Bb 
It was so easy then, never making any plans. 
          F                   G 
It was so easy then, holding hands. 
 
 
          F                Bb 
It was so easy then, never making any plans. 
          F                   G 
It was so easy then, holding hands. 
 
 
     C                     F 
And now we are grown with debts and regrets 
      G                              C 
and broken hearts and sentimental schemes. 
    
Now every tender failure seems 
          F 
to overthrow old dreams. 
           G                         C 
Love can drive a normal woman to extremes. 
 
    
          F                  Bb 
It was so easy once, holding hands without a plan. 
          F                   G                   C     G  C 
It was so easy once, holding hands, just holding hands.
