'The Way It Is'
(Nicole Atkins)
Nicole Atkins
Neptune City (2007)

This is the first song I have ever tried to learn by ear and here are 
the results. It sounds right to me, but you be the judge.
========

           E
Don't tell me
                             F
My love's not the one that I want
                             G
That he's not the one that I need
I'd rather 
F              E
find out for myself
      
           E
You're the one
                              F
Who shakes at the touch of my hand
                                 G
but can't decide where he should stand
         E
If I was smart
          G
I'd never call you, call you
F
ever again

    C
Oh, in my ears 
   Am            F  G
my blood is just roaring
     C             Am            F  G
when he's the only one I've ever wanted
E    F           E        F      C    C7
I suppose that's just the way it is

C    C7    C    C7    |Cadd9 C Cmaj7 C7| F

                         F7
Just think this could be
                G
The last time I hold you, hold you
G7
ever again

    C                  Am
Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till
F  G
morning
    C             Am            F  G
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
        C
Oh, and in my ears
   Am            F  G
my blood is just roaring
    C             Am            F  G
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
E    F           E        F      C
I suppose that's just the way it is
