Pretty simple song, just G power chord then A power chord for the verse.

G5 A5
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is

Then just add C and D power chords

G5 A5
   Everything is the way it is
C5 D5
   It's got to be like you say it is
G5 A5
   I need a heartache, but it won't be long
C5 D5 
   Till I get to where it's coming on
G5 A5
   A little fame and I know it's true
C5 D5
   You can feel it and it's coming for you
G5 A5
   No matter how hard I've tried to stay
C5 D5
   I feel you pulling me further away

Then just A, to G, to D for the chorus

A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo
A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo

G5 A5
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything's the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is

G5 A5
   Staying young is a trivial game
C5 D5
   You're gettin' older but you stay the same
G5 A5
   You look good when you shaking my way
C5 D5
   But let me think of something awful to say

A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo
A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo

(I find this part works well, although not in the recording, if you play the 
chords then palm mute eighth notes of the second chord)

G5 A5 A(palm muted)
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is

G5 A5 A(palm muted)
   I step back take a total view
C5 D5 D(palm muted)
   I take a little, but it's hard to do
G5 A5 A(palm muted)
   But I'll call, I'll try to change
C5 D5 D(palm muted)
   It's better than to stay the same

A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo
A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo
A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo
A5 G5 D5
     Hey hey hey
A5 G5 D5
     Oo oo oo

G5 A5
   Everything's the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything's the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
