Easy To Be Your Lover

Tea Leaf Green


Tom: D

Em               C
oh our love is like your long hair
G                  D
each full of twists and tangles
Em              C
and the fruit that you bare
G           A
is of a fallen angel
Em             C
by day we work it all out
G                D
by night it's tangled again
Em              C
is this a punishment or
G             A
just the way love is

[Chorus]
C              D      Em
it's easy to be your lover
A7              C         Em
it's so hard being your man
C             D       Em
I could never let another
A7            C       Em
be the man you demand

[Verse]
Em            C
there was a time I never worried
G             D
how long our love would last
Em            C
How much the night would allow
G             A
how fast the days do past
Em            C
but morning forces us to dress
G             D
go out and work some kind of job
Em            C
all I want to do is rest
G             A
in your arms

[Chorus]
C              D      Em
it's easy to be your lover
A7              C         Em
it's so hard being your man
C             D       Em
I could never let another
A7            C       Em
be the man you demand

[Verse]
Em            C
you've said I cannot stray
G             D
if I pretend to love
Em            C
that you will not stay
G             A
if I break my promise
Em            C
yes I break my promise
G             D
and I let the light die
Em            C
bite into a fruit
G             A
I was forbidden to try

[Chorus]
C              D      Em
it's easy to be your lover
A7              C         Em
it's so hard being your man
C             D       Em
I could never let another
A7            C       Em
be the man you demand

C              D      Em
it's easy to be your lover
A7              C         Em
it's so hard being your man
C             D       Em
I could never let another
A7            C       Em
be the man you demand
