Thats The Way

 G  D  A   G   D   A

[Verse 1]
G                   D
 Everybody wants an easy ride on the
A
merry go round that we call life
G                 D
 Take a drive on cruise control then you
A
wake to find it's a winding road
G                D
  I had my dreams in view when the
A
money ran out and the engine blew

G               D
  Hung my tears out to dry then my
A
dreams fell out of that clear blue sky
   Dm7   Bb              C
And    I was walking the clouds
Am7                  Dm7
Feeling so safe and sound
Bb                      Asus    A
Something else knocks me   down   Well

[Chorus]
D   D/F#                G
Oh that's the way it is
           Bm             A       D
You gotta roll with the punches
D/F#                  G
That's the way it goes
           Bm            A
You gotta bend when the wind blows
Bb    F/A                 Abdim7         Gm7
  You live you learn, you crash and burn     It's hit or miss
                  Bb/C              F    A
 (that's the way) that's the way it is

[Verse 2]
G         D
One fine day you wake up
A
completely hopelessly fallin in love
G                      D
He's just what you're looking for the only
A
problem is that the man's not sure

G                         D
Another guy'll give you everything, only
A
problem is you don't feel a thing
G                   D
Well I know from experience nothing's
A
ever gonna make perfect sense

   Dm7   Bb              C
Oh, one day you get what you want
Am7                  Dm7
But it's not what you think
Bb                      Asus    A
Then you get what you need

[Chorus]
D   D/F#                G
Oh that's the way it is
           Bm             A       D
You gotta roll with the punches
D/F#                  G
That's the way it goes
           Bm            A
You gotta bend when the wind blows
Bb    F/A                 Abdim7         Gm7
  You live you learn, you crash and burn     It's hit or miss
                  Bb/C              F
 (that's the way) that's the way it is

[Bridge]
A                      Bb
   Yeah, they say your soul is growing
    A7                       G7       Asus  A
But    sometimes I feel like throwing somethin'
D       D/F#                G                  Bm             A      D
   And that's the way it is          You gotta roll with the punches
     D/F#                   G                  Bm            A
 And thst's the way it goes          You gotta bend when the wind blows
D   D/F#                G
Oh that's the way it is
           Bm             A       D
You gotta roll with the punches
D/F#                  G
That's the way it goes
           Bm            A
You gotta bend when the wind blows
Bb    F/A                 Abdim7         Gm7
  You live you learn, you crash and burn     It's hit or miss
                  Bb/C              D
 (that's the way) that's the way it is

[Outro]
