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

Chorus
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)
