Found the lyrics but not the chords:
EASY'S GETTIN' HARDER EVERY DAY (Iris DeMent)
(c) 1993 Songs of Iris ASCAP
As recorded by Iris DeMent on "My Life" (1994)
Standin' barefoot on a cold wood floor,
Lookin' out the window of my back door,
If it keeps on rainin' I think the whole damn house is gonna float away.
The alarm was buzzin' at the break of dawn.
My husband's askin': "Is the coffee on?"
And easy's gettin' harder ev'ry day.
I'll drop the baby off at school at nine,
And bust the lights to get to work on time
Where I'll be starin' at the clock just waitin' to knock off another day.
When supper's done we'll watch some TV show
Of a bunch of folks who've never heard of Idaho,
Where easy's gettin' harder ev'ry day.
I had a garden but my flowers died.
There ain't much livin' here inside.
Lately, I don't know what I'm holdin' on to.
Wish I could run away to Coeur d'Alene,
Take nothin' with me, not even my name,
'Cause easy's gettin' harder ev'ry day.
We make love and then we kiss goodnight.
He rolls over and he's out like a light,
But I ain't mad about it; we got nothin' to talk about anyway.
The lights are blinkin' on the radio tower,
And I lie awake and stare at them for hours and hours,
'Cause easy's gettin' harder every day.
I had a garden but my flowers died.
There ain't much livin' here inside.
Lately, I don't know what I'm holdin' on to.
I'll never make it up to Coeur d'Alene.
There ain't no chance of me forgettin' my name,
And easy's gettin' harder ev'ry day.
And it feels like easy just keeps on gettin' harder ev'ry day.
