The Fair Shake

There ain’t no easy way, there ain’t no fair shake
And all the things you think that you deserve aren’t really yours to take
All the people that you know are only finding their own way
Be gracious if you can and when you can’t, let 'em walk away
There’s more power than you know in lettin' go
There’s more ways to solve a puzzle than you think
I’ve been chasin' down these dead-end roads
For as long as I remember
And tracin' my steps back 'til I’ve got blisters on my feet
I’ve been workin' 'til I’m tired but I still can’t seem to keep
The lights on
There ain’t no easy way, there ain’t no fair shake
And all the things you think that you deserve aren’t really yours to take
All the people that you know are only finding their own way
Be gracious if you can and when you can’t, let 'em walk away
Let 'em walk away
I don’t wanna fight with you anymore
You are not mine I am not yours
And I’m sorry I lost sight
Of the chasm that divides us
Even pressed right up beside you
You were miles and miles and miles away
There ain’t no easy way, there ain’t no fair shake
And all the things you think that you deserve aren’t really yours to take
All the people that you know are only finding their own way
Be gracious if you can and when you can’t, let 'em walk away
Let 'em walk away
There ain’t no easy way, there ain’t no fair shake
And all the things I think that I deserve aren’t really mine to take
All the people that I know are only finding their own way
Be gracious if I can and when I can’t
I’ll be gracious if I can and when I can’t
I’ll be gracious if I can and when I can’t
I’ll let him walk away
I’ll let him walk away
That’s the hardest part
Is to let him walk away
