Thats The Way It Is

A
Remember back in school we learned the golden rule
    D                                   A
Do unto others as you'd have and do to you
         D                     A              D
You're supposed to love me as much as I love you
         E                         A
It's a shame that ain't the way it is
 A
Lovers in a movie on that great big screen
     D                                                  A
He treats her like she's a queen she treats him like a king
          D               A                  D
Wouldn't that be nice if life is lived that way
        E                           A
It's a shame that ain't the way it is

[Chorus]
     D                                            A
I'd like to start each morning with good morning dear
     D                                 A
And end each night with the goodnight kiss
     D                                        A
But all I have is your memory with me laying here
        E                          A
It's a shame but that's the way it is

[Verse]
   A
A love song tells a story of a good love going bad
       D                                                A
Then paints a pretty pictures of that same love coming back
   D                 A         D                      A
I wish that I could sing it I wish that I could paint it
        E                          A
It's a shame that ain't the way it is

[Chorus/Outro]
     D                                            A
I'd like to start each morning with good morning dear
     D                                 A
And end each night with the goodnight kiss
     D                                        A
But all I have is your memory with me laying here
        E                          A
It's a shame but that's the way it is
        E                          A
It's a shame but that's the way it is
