Intro: D9 
 
 
D9                 F#m 
I've been so far away from you  
G                       A9 
While standing by your side. 
D9                        F#m 
There were nights we were so in love, 
G                    A9 
That lovin' made us blind. 
          Bm     Em      F#m      Bm 
But that time is so far below us now,  
      Em         A7 pause 
The memory's so thin, 
                  D9 
It's so easy to begin.  
 
             Em      A7         D9 
But it's so hard to stop, this love, 
              Em      A7 
It's just so hard to stop. 
        Bm            Em         F#m    Bm       Em  A7 pause 
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in, 
                 D9 Em F#m G  A7    pause 
It's so easy to begin. 
 
 
D9                        F#m 
I know I've saved some lessons  
     G                  A9 
From   the time I fell apart. 
D9                       F#m         G 
And I know you've been wondering why  
                   A9 
I look at you so hard. 
 
               Bm    Em         F#m       Bm 
It's 'cause I never want to wake  up some day  
      Em                A7 pause 
And wonder where we've been. 
                 D9 
It's so easy to begin. 
 
             Em      A7         D9  
But it's so hard to stop, this love, 
              Em      A7 
It's just so hard to stop. 
        Bm            Em         F#m    Bm       Em  A7 pause 
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in, 
                 D9 Em 
It's so easy to begin. 
         A7      D9 Em 
It's so easy to begin. 
         A7      D9 Em A7  
It's so easy to begin.
