That`s the way it is
G
Remember back in school, we learned a golden rule:
G 7 C
do on to others as you`d have them do to you;
C 7 G
you`re supposed to love me as much as I love you -
D D 7 G
it`s a shame: that ain`t the way it is.
Lovers in a movie on that great big screen:
he treats her like she is a queen, she treats him like a king.
Wouldn`t it be nice if life was lived that way?
It`s a shame: that ain`t the way it is.
C D G G 7
I`d like to start each morning with "Good morning, dear",
C D G G 7
and end each night with a good-night-kiss,
C D G Em
but all I have is your memory with me lying here.
D D 7 G
It`s a shame, but that`s the way it is.
A lovesong tells a story of a good love going bad,
then paints a pretty picture of that same love comin´ back.
I wish that I could sing it, I wish that I could paint it.
It`s a shame: that ain`t the way it is.
I`d like to start each morning with "Good morning, dear",
and end each night with a good-night-kiss,
but all I have is your memory with me lying here.
It`s a shame, but that`s the way it is.
It`s a shame, but that`s the way it is.
