Aint That Just The Way

         C                            Bm
He was a very special warm and gentle person
            C                               Bm
who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
       C                            Bm
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
              C                         G
'cause all it would have taken was some time

             C                               Bm
you know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
             C                             Bm
and when mountains got too steep for me to climb
       C                            Bm
and it tears me up to think I never touched him
              C                         G
'cause all it would have taken was some time

Chorus;

Em
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
Bm
down, down, down, down
C                               G
movin' way too fast or much too slow
Em
gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
        Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere
        C                             G
but not gettin' into someone I should know

Same as verse before;

Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
and all it would have taken was some time

Chorus x 2
        Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
        Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere repeat (3X then fade out)
