D Am C G D 
 
 
D             Am 
It don't come easy 
   C       G          D 
You know it don't come easy 
D             Am 
It don't come easy 
   C       G          D 
You know it don't come easy 
 
 
D                           Am 
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues 
       C                  D 
And you know it don't come easy 
                       Am 
You don't have to shout or leap about 
       C              D 
You can even play them easy 
  F                               G 
Forget about the past and all your sorrow 
   F  
The future won't last 
       A 
It will soon by your tomorrow 
 
 
I don't ask for much 
I only want trust 
And you know it don't come easy 
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time 
And you know it just ain't easy 
Open up your heart 
Let's come together 
Use a little luck 
And we will make it work out better 
 
Got to pay your dues if you want to sing the blues 
And you know it don't come easy 
You don't have to shout or leap about 
You can even play them easy 
Please remember peace is how we make it 
Here within your reach 
If you're big enough to take it 
 
I don't ask for much 
I only want trust 
And you know it don't come easy 
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time 
And you know it don't come easy
