Verse 1 

                D                  Em 
What does it matter, who's fault it is? 
          G                       D 
How many reasons, do you care to give? 
           D                    Em 
Walking in circles or   walking away 
            G                       D 
Nothing is easy   but what can you say? 



                G                  A 
As sure as the moon can turn the tide 
                G               A 
As sure as the day turns into nig -ht 
                G              A             D   
As sure as the river in your eyes begin to flood 
                    G               A 
And somethings are written in the stars 
             G       D/F#      Em 
Baby that's just the way they are 
                G                    A                  D 
And baby you'll never know cuz your making it up as you go 

Verse 2
 
        D                           Em 
So many questions oh with too many lies 
               G                D 
Searching for answers between si-gns 
                                                Em 
oh but things never work out the way that you planned it 
          G                                   D 
Somehow it all ends slips right through your hands 

Chorus 

Bridge 
  
Em                   G              D 
  There's no goodier way to say goodbye 
Em                   G           A  
  I guess you'll just make it up  everytime you try 
                                          (As sure as the moon)           

Chorus 
                G                    A                  D 
And baby you'll never know cuz your making it up as you go
