Intro 
C 

verse 1 
G          C 
Close your eyes, think a while 
F                     C 
  before we call it a day 

Turn around, try to smile 
F 
  Smile as you walk away 

G 
It ain't easy leaving 
                            C 
Don't you know, even heroes cry 
  G 
I don't know the reason 
                          C              G 
I just know it aint easy, all the time 

     C 
It's funny how, we seem somehow 
F                    C 
Strangers saying goodbye 
C 
Guess what we have is over now 
F                 C 
Maybe we flew too high 

  G 
I wont find it easy 
  G 
I know you're leaving 
     C 
will trouble me 
    G 
But I've got a feeling 
     G 
that maybe you really hurt 
          C 
more than me 

F                       G 
  I know it might sound vain 
    F                    G 
but really it's not that way 
                             G 
It's just that I've found my way .... 

[Refrão]

Chorus 
C                   F        G 
Taking the easy way home ... OK 
C                   F        G 
Taking the easy way home ... All right 
C                   F 
Taking the easy way home 
G         F            G 
'Cos I'll find another road 
F 
Another way to go 
                             G 
Find some other song to sing along the line 
G 
Going home ... 

C                   F     G 
Taking the easy way home 
                    C 
Taking the easy way home 

verse 2 
     G      C 
I've had my fears 
G        C 
Cried my tears 
    F                    C 
And learned a lot on the way 
     C             C 
I've hurt my pride through the years 
    F                     C 
but now they're all yesterday 

   G 
So baby believe me that maybe your leaving 
     C 
Will trouble me 
    G 
But I've got a feeling that 
               C 
maybe you hurt more than me 
F 
  I know it might sound vain 
                         G 
but really it's not that way 
                             G 
It's just that I've found my way ....

Taking the easy way home 
G         F            G
