The Way It Is - Nicole Atkins

(tacit) Am (sus2)
Don't tell me
F (b5)
My love's not the one that I want
G
That he's not the one that I need, I'd rather
E Am
find out for myself

tacit Am (sus2)
You're the one
F (b5)
Who shakes at the touch of my hand
G
but can't decide where he should stand
E
If I was smart
F (Dm7)
I'd never call you, call you
G
ever again

C
Oh, in my ears
Em F G
my blood is just roaring
C Em Dm7(Fbass) G
when he's the only one I've ever wanted
Em F Em Dm7
I suppose that's just the way it is

(bridge)
C | Caug | C | Caug | Am(Cbass) |
| Eb(Cbass) | Ab(Cbass) C | F

F
Just to think this could be
Fm G
The last time I hold you, hold you
G7
ever again

C Em
Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till
F G
morning
C Em (Ebm7)Dm7 G
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
C
Oh, and in my ears
Em F G
my blood is just roaring
C Em Dm7(Fbass) G
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
Em Fmaj7 Em Dm7 C
I suppose that's just the way it is
