Forgiving You Was Easy
By Willie Nelson


E                                                              A
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
            B7                                         E
I just keep thinkin’, and your memory is forever on my mind
    E                                                                   A
You know I’ll always love you and I can’t forget the days when you were mine
   B7                                                          E
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time


A bitter fruit of anger growing from the seeds of jealousy
Oh what a heartache, but I forgive the things you said to me
Cause I believe forgiving is the only way that I’ll find peace of mind
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time


Solo


The years have passed so quickly as once again fate steals a young mans dreams
All the golden years and growing old together, you and me
You asked me to forgive you, you said there was another on your mind
Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time

Forgiving you is easy but forgetting seems to take the longest time
