Easy Come, Easy Go

CAPO 3rd Fret

C 
Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail 
      Em 
Seems like every Friday evenin' she'd find herself in jail 
      Am 
Not a friend this side of Houston with the time to throw her bail 
              F               G  
But she'll be fine, she'll be fine 
 
C
Spent a lifetime walkin' through the walls of a broken home 
      Em
Not a man round here still standin for the girl to call her own 
      Am
Every time she tried to hold him she just ended up alone 
                  F                   G
But there's still time, there's still time 

C 
Davey drove a taxi through the streets of Boston town 
         Em
Like the billboards up above him the world just wore him down 
     Am
Only soul he'd ever cared for was the one he'd never found 
             F              G
But he'll be fine, he'll be fine 

C 
Broken half of winter with a wind chill ten below 
       Em
Davey sittin in is kitchen laughin' about how the world had done him so 
         Am
Then the postman burst his bubble with a letter from below 
             F              G
And now it's time, now it's time 

       F             G      C      C/B     Am  
And there's a lot of people runnin' around 
F         C                 G 
Not quite sure which way to go 
F          G    C       C/B     Am   
But as for me I think I finally found 
F              G             C     G 
It's just easy come and easy go

C
Jamie grabbed a bottle threw her apron on the bar 
       Em
Packed her whole world in a suitcase and tossed it in the car 
     Am
Woke up in Texarkana wonderin' how she got this far 
           F           G
And on her own, on her own 

C 
Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free 
        Em
She was gone before the daybreak on her way to Tennessee 
           Am
Lookin' to make the whole world over into a place she wants to be 
         F          G
But not alone, not alone 

C 
Davey left his taxi in the bottom of a Beantown lake 
        Em
He said this whole world's full of chance and this is one I gotta take 
       Am
So he caught the line to Nashville to finally find his break 
           F            G
And make a home, make a home 

C 
As the train flew out of Boston, his whole world passed him by 
   Em
He said I spent a lifetime runnin' and now's the time to try 
     Am
If I can't find someone to hold me my dreams will surely die 
            F             G            
And I'll be gone, I'll be gone 
 
       F             G      C      C/B     Am  
And there's a lot of people runnin' around 
F         C                 G 
Not quite sure which way to go 
F          G    C       C/B     Am   
But as for me I think I finally found 
F              G             C     G 
It's just easy come and easy go
 
BRIDGE
     Am                         F
When Davey hit the pavement the sky was almost grey 
         C                            G   
He lit a smoke off of the sidewalk to drive the storm away
         Am                               F
And when Jamie turned the corner with the world upon her brow
      C                             G  
Davey said I must be dreamin' - How could this happen now
    Am                                             F
And then she walked right towards him - Looked him right up in the eye 
C                                 G (SLOW)  
Davey reached out for forever and Jamie walked on by

 
SLOWLY LAST LINE TWICE AND END
       F             G      C      C/B     Am  
And there's a lot of people runnin' around 
F         C                 G 
Not quite sure which way to go 
F          G    C       C/B     Am   
But as for me I think I finally found 
F              G             C
It's just easy come and easy go
F              G             C
It's just easy come and easy go
