Thats The Way It Is Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
[A]Remember back in school we learned the golden rule
Do u[D]nto others as you'd have and do to y[A]ou
You're su[D]pposed to love me as m[A]uch as I love y[D]ou
It's a sh[E]ame that ain't the way it [A]is
L[A]overs in a movie on that great big screen
He tr[D]eats her like she's a queen she treats him like a k[A]ing
Wouldn't t[D]hat be nice if l[A]ife is lived that w[D]ay
It's a s[E]hame that ain't the way it i[A]s

[CHORUS]
I'd l[D]ike to start each morning with good morning d[A]ear
And e[D]nd each night with the goodnight k[A]iss
But a[D]ll I have is your memory with me laying h[A]ere
It's a s[E]hame but that's the way it [A]is

[VERSE]
A l[A]ove song tells a story of a good love going bad
Then pa[D]ints a pretty pictures of that same love coming b[A]ack
I w[D]ish that I could s[A]ing it I w[D]ish that I could paint [A]it
It's a s[E]hame that ain't the way it [A]is

[Chorus/Outro]
I'd l[D]ike to start each morning with good morning d[A]ear
And e[D]nd each night with the goodnight k[A]iss
But a[D]ll I have is your memory with me laying h[A]ere
It's a s[E]hame but that's the way it [A]is
It's a s[E]hame but that's the way it [A]is
