[C] [F]
[G] [C]
[F] [C] [G]
[C]
Standing [F] barefoot on a cold wood floor [G] [Em] Looking out the [C] window of my back door
[F] It keeps [G] on raining I think the whole damn [C] house is gonna float away
[G]
[C] The alarm was buzzing at [F] the break of dawn [G] My [C] husband's asking is the coffee on
[F] [G] And easy is getting harder [C] every day I dropped the baby [F] off at school at night
[G] We bust the lights to get [C] to work on time Or I'll [F] be staring at the clock
[G] Just waiting to knock [C] off another day [G]
[C] When supper's done [F] we'll watch some TV show
Of [G] a bunch of folks who've [C] never heard of Idaho [F] [C] [G] Where [Em] easy's getting [C] harder every day
I
[F] had a garden [G] but my flowers [C] died There ain't [F] much living here [C] inside
Lately I don't know what [G] I'm holding on to [D] Wished [C] I could run away [F]
to Coeur d'Alene
[G] Take nothing with [C] me not even money [F] [G] Cause easy's getting [C] harder every day
We [F]
[Am] [G] [C]
[F] [Am] [G]
[C]
make love and then [F] we kiss [G] goodnight He rolls [C] over and he's out like a light
[F] But I ain't [G] mad about it We got nothing to [C] talk about anyway
[G] The
[C] lights are blinking [F] on the radio tower [G] And I'll awaken [C] Staretham for hours now
[F] [G] Cause easy's getting harder [C] every [C] day
[F] I had a garden [G] but my flowers [C] died
There ain't much [F] living here [C] inside Lately I don't know what I'm [G] holding on to
But [C] [D] [C] I'll never make it up [F] to Coeur d'Alene [G] There ain't no chance of me [C] forgetting my name
[F] [G] And easy's getting harder [C] every day And it [F] feels like easy
[G] Just keeps on getting [C] harder every day
