Verse1
Am E Dm E (Am)
Do you remember once upon a time, when you were mine
Am E Dm E
The stars above were bright and new I pulled them down for you
Dm E Dm E
Just when I fell in love again you said that all good things must end
Am Am7 G Dm
Baby, that's just the way it is baby Oh oh
Am Am7 G
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Verse2
I've never had a hand for solitaire, it's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose, I feel like I've been used
To help you through another night, you've spelled it out in black and white
Chorus
Solo (Verse: first 2 lines)
Verse3
The tide that once had carried you away, bring you back today
Now the time has washed away my pain, you'll find that things have changed
Dm E Dm G
And disappeared without a trace, you can't get back what you've erased
Chorus
And I say
C9 G F G
Baby, that's just the way it is baby that's just the way it is
C9 G F G
Baby, that's just the way it is baby that's just the way it is
Chorus (4x)
