G              D 
It's hard for me to lie to you 
C                 G 
She comes home to me 
       C 
And we lay awake 

Til morning breaks 
D 
Discussing poetry 

G                 D 
Jolene, we almost never met 
     C                   G 
Then where would we both be? 
        C                          
We'd be drowning in a sea of wealth 
    D 
Six figures of misery

        Em        C           G     C G 
Take it easy, I'm new at this Jolene 
        Em         C              G    C G 
Make it easier for me to turn and leave 
       Em           C              G       C G 
When I walk away, I find I've been replaced 
         Em                  C              G    C G 
Now he's in your thoughts en route to outer space 

         G             D 
And it's hard to go to bed with you 
      C                  G 
Still running through my mind 
        C                
But you make it so much easier 
   D 
To leave it all behind 

    G               D 
And then you fly me to the moon 
      C               G 
While singing country songs 
        C 
I would lie in bed til morning breaks 
      D 
If it weren't for my alarm 


[Refrão]

        Em        C           G     C G 
Take it easy, I'm new at this Jolene 
        Em         C              G    C G 
Make it easier for me to turn and leave 
       Em           C              G       C G 
When I walk away, I find I've been replaced 
         Em                  C              G     C    G 
Now he's in your thoughts en route to outer space again 

        Em      C                 G  C G 
Make it easy my darling, don't be shy 
        Em            C                   G   C G 
Light a cigarette and then you close your eyes 
       Em           C              G       C G 
When I walk away, I find I've been replaced 
         Em             C              G    C G 
Now he's in your bed en route to outer space
