Capo 1st Fret 


D5 A5 
Ah baby 
      D5 
After many tears fall from your eyes 
                     G5           D5 
A thousand times you ask yourself why 
    D5 
The one guy you love has departed 
       A5 
You're left alone and broken-hearted 
D5 
Love just comes and goes 
                         G5     D5 
How long it's gonna last nobody knows 

Chorus: 
D5  
That's the way love is, baby  
G5 
That's the way love is, sugar, how it is 
D5 
That's the way love is, baby 
G5 
That's the way love is, sugar, how it is 
G5             D5 
That's how it is 


D5 
I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road 
                             G5    D5 
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load 
           D5 
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (ain't got a friend) 
         A5 
And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in) 
        D5 
Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong) 
                      G5            D5                                  
You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone) 

Remember... 

(Chorus) 

(instrumental) 

Listen to me, little darlin' 
    D5 
The road of love is rough sometimes 
                         G5      D5 
But don't let it get the best of you 
          D5 
I've been hurt by love so many times 
  A5 
I know just what you're goin' through 
    D5 
You wish you were never born 
                      G5            D5 
You better forget him now that he's gone 

(Chorus) 

Wipe away your tears 
        D5 
Love is here today and gone tomorrow 
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 
All your joys turn to sorrow 
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 
One day gladness, and the next day sadness 
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is) 
...and fade
