[Verse 1]
G                          D                 G
Give me your cigarette but not your smoker's cough
  G                           D                    G
I wanna push your buttons but don't wanna turn you off
  G                       D             G
I wanna be the star and I wanna make it rain
        C                                Bm
So when I burn out I got ice to cool the pain

[Chorus]
G                                      C
That's the problem with people like me
C                     D
Why make it hard when you could make it easy?
 G6      G     G6           G
(Take it easy, take-take it easy)
C                  D
Why work hard when you can take it easy?
 G6      G     G6           G
(Take it easy, take-take it easy)

[Verse 2]
             G                   D                      G
Give me your words of wisdom but don't make me take the class
        G                          D                   G
I wanna fly you to the moon but I don't wanna pay for gas
     G              D                     G
When I stop working you can put me in the trash
           C                                   Bm
Or you can use me again on a date that doesn't crash

[Chorus]
G                                      C
That's the problem with people like me
C                     D
Why make it hard when you could make it easy?
 G6      G     G6           G
(Take it easy, take-take it easy)
C                  D
Why work hard when you can take it easy?
 G6      G     G6           G
(Take it easy, take-take it easy)
