  If it seems i'm far away, don't think it's cuz of you 
    
  D                           G                       D 
  My mind may seem to wander, you know thats nothin new 
 
    Bm              Em          G                     D 
  I sometimes go inside myself, to see whats in this man 
 
    D               A                      G              D 
  But I need you to know one thing, that's just the way I am   

   Bm            Em    G            D 
  Just a simple soul, ridin in the wind 
  Bm             Em        G                 D 
  Mesmerized by memories, captured way back then 
  Bm             Em       G                  D 
  Just a simple soul, you need to know this man 
   D              A                    G              D 
  Never think my love is gone, that's just the way I am 
 
 
 Time is just a measurement, a keeper of the past 
 
 I close my eyes and drift away, life is gone too fast 
 
 My inner soul is searching, for everything it can 
 
  but I need you to know one thing, thats just the way I am

   D                 A                     G             D 
  But I need you to know one thing, thats just the way I am 
 
 
  When I see myself today I often wonder why 
 
  About emotions wasted, then begin to cry 
 
  Another night of sorrow, time has the upper hand 
 
  But I need you to know one thing, thats just the way I am 
 
  Chorus 
 
  Thats just the way I am, Thats just the way I am,  
 
  Thats just.....the way I a-----m
