[Intro]
 

[Chorus]

You want someo

ne who wants y

ou for who you

 are
              
I want someone

              
 to try and le

         
t me down easy

, easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Verse 1]

Honey, it's no

 secret that w

ith matters of

 the heart

Unreserved, I'm irrational and rarely ever star
             
But since the 


world's dark a

nd often inhum

ane

We relish our condition, come drinking in the rain
             
Cause do you r

emember when, 

after Paris

We all decided the best way to fight it was

Drink wine, da

nce, heal and 

pray

And make love that lasts with a vengeance
    
So you can joi

n the cowards 

all aboard the

 outrage train
              
You can stay a

              
fraid, or slit

              
 the throat of

              
 fear and be b

 
rave

And scratch a little itch 'til you're moving like a motherfucker

Up in this bitch

[Chorus]

You wanted to 

fight for a ca

use?

Then go out and fall in love

Don't stop, do

n't stop belie

ving

In truth, and grace in the grievance

You want someo

ne to want you

 for who you a

re
              
I want someone

              
 to try or let

        
 me down easy,

 easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

 

[Verse 2]
    
So look at me 

and tell me wh

at I already k

now

That I trialled and I failed and it's good to let it go
             
And sometimes 


life sucks and

 everything is

 lame

Not everything's as easy as making lemonade
        
And so dismemb

ering our stat

e of balance

With lust requited, a gaze undivided
      
With a cool mi

nd, warmth in 

your face

A good heart, grace under pressure

Give me a good

 reason to be 

heartsick agai

n
              
To be here, to

              
 be strong, to

              
 be oddly and 

          
boldly estrang


ed

From a loss and bitter years

I found myself descending into tedium and fear

[Chorus]

You wanted to 

fight for a ca

use?

Then go out and fall in love

Don't stop, do

n't stop belie

ving

In truth and grace in the grievance

You want someo

ne to want you

 for who you a

re
              
I want someone

              
 to try or let

        
 me down easy,

 easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Instrumental]
 
    (x2)

[Bridge]
             
If it's late, 

        
you're drunk a

nd wanting

A reason, some

 reason to liv

e
             
I always, I al


ways say

Just put on so

me Whitesnake



[Verse 3]

Honey, it's no

 secret that I

've been losin

g my way

In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways
        
But hey, I'm s

till young, an

d it's gonna b

e okay

I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade
    
I'll surrender

 then, all my 

balance

And be excited and drink to tonight
          
It's not a bad


 time, time sp

ent with you

There's cool lights, and songs with good lyrics
   
We never have 

to talk again,

 whatever, up 

to you

But since you're putting up with me
              
Here's another

           
 toast just to


 you

Let's dance off the beat

Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street

[Chorus]

You wanted to 

fight for a ca

use?

Then go out and love someone

Don't stop, do

n't stop belie

ving

In truth and personal freedom

I want someone

 to want me fo

r who I am
              
I want someone

              
 to try or let

        
 me down easy,

 easy tonight

Easy, easy tonight

[Outro]

Easy, easy ton

ight

Easy, easy tonight

Easy, easy ton

ight

Easy, easy tonight
