The Way It Is

The Way It Is - Nicole Atkins

(tacit) Am (sus2)

Don't tell me

F (b5)

My love's not the one that I want

G

That he's not the one that I need, I'd rather

E Am

find out for myself

tacit Am (sus2)

You're the one

F (b5)

Who shakes at the touch of my hand

G

but can't decide where he should stand

E

If I was smart

F (Dm7)

I'd never call you, call you

G

ever again

C

Oh, in my ears

Em F G

my blood is just roaring

C Em Dm7(Fbass) G

when he's the only one I've ever wanted

Em F Em Dm7

I suppose that's just the way it is

(bridge)

C | Caug | C | Caug | Am(Cbass) |

| Eb(Cbass) | Ab(Cbass) C | F

F

Just to think this could be

Fm G

The last time I hold you, hold you

G7

ever again

C Em

Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till

F G

morning

C Em (Ebm7)Dm7 G

Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted

C

Oh, and in my ears

Em F G

my blood is just roaring

C Em Dm7(Fbass) G

Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted

Em Fmaj7 Em Dm7 C

I suppose that's just the way it is
