Doesnt Have To Be This Way Chords & Lyrics - Alison Krauss

[VERSE 1]
[G] Sometimes I wonder where[D] you're coming from when you
[Em] Roll in like thunder just to[Cadd9] turn around and run…
It’s a[G] good thing I don’t need you to[D] stay[Dsus4] [D]

[VERSE 2]
[G] You smell like moonlight and[D] early morning rain
[Em] Pray til' a fool, but su[Cadd9]rrender to your pain
[G] Or find a cure for your d[D]ecay [Dsus4] [D]

[CHORUS]
[Cadd9] You’re at your best with an[G/B] ache in your chest
And that[D] worn out old song that you[Cadd9] play
[G/B] Only Jesus and[D] you who long to teach us
Should[Cadd9] no one be left to betray.

[VERSE 3]
[G] I don’t know the answer but[D] I know who to blame
You can[Em] choose the dancer and[Cadd9] you can choose the flame
I[G] think you’ll find they’re one in the[D] same
It doesn’t have to be thi[Em]s way

[BREAK]

Should[Cadd9] no one be left to betray.

[BRIDGE]
[G] I don’t know the answer but[D] I know who to blame
