Bm                                  A 
It isn't going to be easy from now on
C                                          G7
You've been messing around while I've been gone
    Bm                                    A 
But sometimes telling the truth can be unkind
C                G7              Bm
Folks who suffer guilt can be so blind

Chorus:
E                         D     Bm
It isn't going to be easy I can tell
A                   G                     F#
Just how empty I'm feeling you know damn well
                Bm                               A 
I'm telling you it ain't gonna be easy from the start
G                     F#              Bm    A   G 
Look out honey you're playing with my heart

It isn't going to be easy and that's for sure
Changing things back the way they were before
Once you've lifted the lid on such pain
It isn't easy to put it back again

Chorus

It isn't going to be so easy this time around
Turning back the clock on what's gone down
Oh there comes a time when you need to make a stand
You got to play your cards or fold a losing hand

Chorus:
And it isn't going to be easy and that's no lie
But if you're willing to try it so am I
It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
You better look out darling, you're playing with my heart

It isn't going to be easy.
It isn't going to be easy

Chorus:
And it isn't going to be easy and that's no lie
But if you're willing to try it so am I
It ain't gonna be so easy from the start
You better look out darling, you're playing with my heart

It isn't going to be easy,
it isn't going to be easy

It isn't going to be so from the start
It isn't going to be easy from the start
It isn't going to be isn't going to be easy be so easy
Easy easy easy easy easy easy yeah
It isn't going to be so easy

Chorus:
It isn't going to be so easy from the start, you got my heart
And it isn't going to be so easy from the start
It isn't going to be so easy from the start
It isn't going to be so easy easy from the start
Even from the start - x2
