[D]Maybe we were m[A]eant to be like a h[D]eartbeat turning bl[G]ack
[D]Wasted like the c[A]olors mixed while th[D]ieves steal out the bl[G]ack
[D]It's like a br[A]oken smile, a st[B]ep apart that g[G]ives you style
[D]It doesn't n[A]eed explaining you kn[D]ow it's fall when [G]it starts raining

[CHORUS]

[D] [G] It's just the way it [D]is
[G] It's just the way it [D]is
[G] It's just the way it [A]is

[D]Touching through an o[A]pen flame and s[D]parks begin to f[G]ly
[D]Looking for an[A]other way but you c[D]an't help passing [G]by
[D]It's not your [A]enemy, it's the s[B]ense somehow you w[G]on't be free
[D]It's only r[A]ank and file, tr[D]ampled love, and wa[G]lking wild

[CHORUS]

[D]Within the cr[A]ystal pains that we sh[D]attered long a[G]go
[D]Alone with w[A]hat remains it's h[D]ard to let you k[G]now
[D]In a n[A]o-win fight, I g[B]uess two wrongs don't m[G]ake a right
[D]We're in the d[A]ash between the w[D]ay we are and w[G]hat we've been

CHORUS (2x)

[END IN D]
