Am                          F               C  
So you're standing in the parking lot of life 
Am                          F               C 
And you're try'na figure out your fate tonight 
Am                             F               C 
Then you hear a sound commin' out of the car radio 
Am                      F                                C 
Sayin' son if you don't learn then you will never know 

Am                      F               C 
So you try to drag your feet down to the bar 
Am                     F                 C 
When you starting to forget just who you are 
Am                     F                      C 
And they told you it was written in the stars 
Am                       F                      C 
But you've never had a chance to look that far... 

Am             F               C 
Yhea.. that's just the way it goes; 
Am                F               C 
Maybe you'll die young before you're old 
Am             F               C 
Yhea.. that's just the way it is; 
Am             F               C 
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live 

In a world that changes every day 
It's easy to get lost along the way 
In a world that's never as it seems 
Where people try buy and sell their dreams 
Where people try buy and sell their dreams 

Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;          | 
Maybe you'll die young before you're old     | 
Yhea.. that's just the way it is;            |  X2 
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live          | 
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live          |

'Cos nobody understands just what it is...
