It Doesnt Have To Be That Way Chords & Lyrics - Jim Croce

[C] Snowy [Cmaj7]nights and Christ[C6]mas lig[C]hts,

[F] Icy [Em]window panes,[Dm7] [G7]

[C] Make me [Cmaj7]wish that [C6]we could [C]be [D7]

[D7] Together agai[G7]n

And the [C]windy [Cmaj7]winter [C6]aven[C]ues

[F] Just don't [Em]seem the sam[Dm7]e,

[G7] And the [C]Christmas [Cmaj7]carols [C6]sound like [C]blues,

But the [F]choir is [G7]not to bla[C]me

[CHORUS]

[G7]But it [C]doesn't have to [F]be that wa[Em]y

[F] What we [Em]had should [F]nev[Em]er [F]have [Em]end[C]ed

I'll be dropping b[F]y toda[Em]y

[F] [Em] [F] [Em] [F]
[Dm]'Ca[C]use[D7] we could easily get it together tonight

[G7] It's only rig[C]ht [G7]

[C] Crowded [Cmaj7]stores, the [C6]corner San[C]ta Claus,

[F] Tinseled [Em]afternoons, [G7]

And the [C]sidewalk [Cmaj7]bands that [C6]play their so[C]ngs [D7]

Slightly out of tun[G7]e

On the [C]windy w[Cmaj7]inter [C6]aven[C]ues

[F] There walks a [Em]lonely man[Dm7] , [G7]

And [C]if I [Cmaj7]told you [C6]who he i[C]s,

Well I [F]think you'd [G7]understan[C]d


[CHORUS 2X]
