Aint That Just The Way

Em     Bm      C      G
Uhh Uh-uhh Uh-uhh  Uh-uhh


[Verse 1]
         C                            G
He was a very special warm and gentle person
            C                               G
who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
D       Em                            Bm
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
        C                                 G
'cause all it would have taken was some time

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


[Chorus]

Oh oh ohhh
      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


[Verse 2]
         C                             G
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
        C                             G
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
D      Em                               Bm
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
     C                                 G
and all it would have taken was some time


[Chorus]

Oh oh ohhh
      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



[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
not gettin' into someone I should know


[Bridge]
        Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
        Bm
gettin' no, no,
        Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
        Bm
gettin' no, no,
        Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
        Bm
gettin' no, no,
        Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
        Bm
gettin' no, no,


[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
not gettin' into someone I should know
