[VERSE 1]
Bittersweet [D/F#]sea [G] sons
[D/F#]Mistake a war[Em]m winter for spring[C]
Seems like I'm [D/F#]best at [G]leaving when [D/F#]leaving is [Em]not the best thing[C]
Pre Chorus 1:
You [G]couldn't help it if you needed [D/F#]more than I could give
That's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
[VERSE 2]
I call you [D/F#]mis - [G]placed but [D/F#]never a [Em]waste of my time[C]
Everybody's gonna [D/F#]make mi[G]stakes,
But [D/F#]you'll never [Em]be one of mine[C]
Pre Chorus 2:
You [G]couldn't help it if you needed [D/F#]more than I could give
That's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
I [G]knew you felt me leaving long [D/F#]before I ever did
That's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
[CHORUS 1]
[G] (bass line:[B] -[C] -D) [D#dim]
Loved me fearless when you needed to
You would [Em]not rest till you came [A/C#]through
So [C]God bless and [D]thank you [C]
[VERSE 3]
There is no [D/F#]an - [G]ger, it's [D/F#]just you and [Em]I and the truth[C]
You can try to [D/F#]make [G]her but [D/F#]love will [Em]not be forced to[C] bloom, to bloom
Pre Chorus 3:
You [G]couldn't help it if you needed [D/F#]more than I could give
That's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
The [G]only love worth fighting for is [D/F#]one that you can win and,
That's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
[CHORUS 2]
[G] (bass line:[B] -[C] -D) [D#dim]
You would not break but you could bend
And for love's[Em] sake you let love[A/C#] end,
But [C]I still swear that you were God s[D]ent
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Em] [A] [Em] [A] [Em] [A] [C] [D]
Pre Chorus 4:
And you [G]stood before me knowing that the [D/F#]wings I have you gave
And that's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
And I [G]barely have the breath to breathe much [D/F#]less to fly away
And that's [Em]just the way it goes now[C]
[CHORUS 3]
[G] (bass line:[B] -[C] -D) [D#dim] [Em]
