Intro

F# and Riff 2x


Verse
F#                          B
Now I'm gonna put something to ya
                       F#
That may not sound too smart
                   B                       F#
Well you can use a hammer to mend a broken heart
                              B
He's traveled the whole world over
                        F#
He's been here from the start
                           B
You can let me follow your neighbor
    (B)
But still we're miles apart

F# and Riff 1x


Chorus
                C#m    B
Well that's the way it is
           E      F#
That's the way it is
                  C#m    B
You don't like to say it is
               E      B
But that's the way it is

F# and Riff 2x


Verse
Now I've got something that's for ya
Further on down the road
Cuz they ain't not gonna play to forgive me
When everything's been sold
It's like there's something at me
That's trying to follow me
It's the folks that have no ideals
That seem to have the most to say


F# and Riff 1x

Chorus
Well I say it is
That's the way it is
You don't like to say it is
But that's the way it is
They hold down ever since
That's the way it is
Yea that's the way it is
YEA

Outro
E-F-F# 8x
