IT AIN'T EASY
(J Christie)

1st verse
When she said that she was leaving you, did you wonder why
When she said she had enough of you, did you start to die
After everything was said and done
Did it leave you feeling cold and numb
Did you see a shadow backing out of the sun

Chorus
It ain't easy, to win the race
It ain't easy, to fall with grace
It ain't easy, you know, you know
It ain't easy

2nd verse
Don't come round here with your tragedies, I've got mine
Don't tell me you need my sympathy, I don't have time
Don't you know that it's a foolish man
Who tries to hide his face beneath the sand
See the queen of spades in the palm of your hand

Chorus

Bridge
Don't cry on my shoulder now
Lean on someone older now
For I'm the one you always come to
When you need somebody to run to, someone to lend you a helping hand

Chorus
