Another new Chris Ross tune!
Easier Said Than Done IS pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Tune your guitar to drop-d and put a capo on the 1st fret!
Definitely Youtube this song and the handy dandy guitar tutorial (taught by Chris Ross, himself!)

I mighta stayed one day too many
You mighta left one night too soon
Must've seen the things I couldn't bring
My eyes to see in you
The mortar dries the border lines
I've crossed across your face
Still lovlier than all the hers who've
Tried to take your place, you know it's true babe

I could be there in a minute
This town it ain't that big
But you may as well be in Fayetteville or
Sarasota Springs
'Cause loneliness is loneliest
When home's one kiss away
And a mile is a million
When you don't know what to say

It's the rain upon the water
It's the leaves under the trees
True love's hard to part with
Hardly ever evergreen
It ain't red bouquets and Cabernets
And rare fillet mignon
It's morning-light that shines in spite of
All that you've done wrong

There's a madness in the mirror
That no one else can see
A part of us that lies in trust and
Perfect harmony
And we're all bound by bank accounts and
Jagged county lines
Just love and live and please forgive
The things that I can't hide
