That's The Way It Is - Jo Dee Messina

Intro: G D A (2 times)

G D

Everybody wants an easy ride on the

A

merry go round that we call life

G D

Take a drive on cruise control then you

A

wake to find it's a winding road

G D

I had my dreams in view when the

A

money ran out and the engine blew

G D

Hung my tears out to dry then my

A

dreams fell out of that clear blue sky

Dm Bb C

And I, I was walking the clouds

Am7 Dm

Feeling so safe and sound

Bb A

Something else knocks me down

Chorus:

D A G

Oh that's the way it is

D A D

You gotta roll with the punches

A G

That's the way it goes

D A

You gotta bend when the wind blows

Bb F Gm7

You live you learn, you crash and burn

Gm

It's hit or miss

C F A

And that's the way it is

G D

One fine day you wake up

A

completely hopelessly fallin in love

G D

He's just what you're looking for the only

A

problem is that the man's not sure

G D

Another guy'll give you everything, only

A

problem is you don't feel a thing

G D

Well I know from experience nothing's

A

ever gonna make perfect sense

Dm Bb C

Oh, one day you get what you want

Am7 Dm

But it's not what you think

Bb A

Then you get what you need

CHORUS

A Bb

Yeah, they say your soul is growing

A Bb A

But sometimes I feel like throwing something
