Read embedded text file as string array (C#)

I'm trying to read an embedded textfile.

The text file has the structure:

Word1
Word2
Word3
...

I'm trying to get this into a string array, but am unable to do so.

I mean, i've come across this: How to read embedded resource text file but this only reads the file as a string and while i could read the string, then separate it out line-by-line, there seems like there should be a simpler solution.

Is there?

I use this extension method for splitting lines:

public static string[] GetLines(this string s)
{
    return s.Split(new[] {Environment.NewLine}, StringSplitOptions.None);
}

Then you can do:

string[] strings = Properties.Resources.YourResource.GetLines();
