A5 A5                         G5 G5
      I once had a friend who       met an early end to
D5 D5                         A5 A5
     a kind of modern way of thinking
A5 A5                         G5 G5
     He wasn't taken from us        yeah he's still among us
D5 D5                             A5 A5
     but he lived for drugs and drinking
A5 A5                             G5 G5
     He liked to point the finger      his accusations linger
D5 D5                       A5 A5
     a deeper part of every action
A5 A5                               G5 G5
     He loved to play the game where     he'd disperse the blame for
D5 D5                          A5 E5  A5
     every deep dissatisfaction

[Chorus]
      A
Easy to bitch, easy to whine
      G
Easy to moan, easy to cry
       D                                       A
Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life
                A
It's harder to work, harder to strive
             G
Hard to be glad to be alive
                D                           A
But it's really worth it if you give it a try

[Verse 2]
A5 A5
     He once told me how he
G5 G5
     Couldn't wait to beat me
D5 D5                              A5 A5
     So he could take what I was telling
       A5 A5
(He said)
            They don't give a damn, it's
G5 G5
      All a master plan for
D5 D5                                A5 E5 A5
      Us to buy what they are selling

[Chorus]
      A
Easy to bitch, easy to whine
      G
Easy to moan, easy to cry
       D                                       A
Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life
                A
It's harder to work, harder to strive
            G
Hard to be glad to be alive
                D                           A
But it's really worth it if you give it a try, come on give it a try

[Verse 3]
A5 A5
     If I sound above it
G5 G5
     I can't sit in judgement
D5 D5                                     A5 E5 A5
     Cause I ain't sure where I'd be sittin'
A5 A5
     These are all my problems
G5 G5
     Lord, I tried to drop them
D5 D5                                      A5 E5 A5
     Cause this ain't how I should be livin'

[Chorus]
      A
Easy to bitch, easy to whine
      G
Easy to moan, easy to cry
       D                                       A
Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life
                A
It's harder to work, harder to strive
            G
Hard to be glad to be alive
                D                           A
But it's really worth it if you give it a try, come on give it a try
