Doesn't Have To Be This Way

 
 
CAPO 4  
 
Tabbed by: Emrldeyzs 
 
VERSE: 
 
G                  D                        
Sometimes I wonder where you’re coming from when you  
Em                           C 
Roll in like thunder just to turn around and run… 
       G                              D    Dsus D      
It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay 
 
VERSE: 
G                            D     
You smell like moonlight and early morning rain 
Em                   C               
Pray tell a fool but surrender to your pain 
G                       D    Dsus  D 
Or find a cure for your decay 
 
C                           Em/B 
You’re at your best with an ache in your chest 
         D            D/F#          C 
And that worn out old song that you play 
Em/B           D 
Only Jesus and you who long to teach us  
       C                
Should know and be left to betray.
 
 
VERSE: 
 
G                           D 
I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame  
        Em                   C         
You can choose the dancer if you could choose the flame 
  G                                    D  Dsus D   
I think you’ll find they’re one in the same 
   D/F#                    Em 
It doesn’t have to be this way 
 
 
BREAK: G  D  Em  C  G  D  Dsus D 2x 
 
CHORUS: 
 
C                           Em/B 
You’re at your best with an ache in your chest 
         D            D/F#          C 
And that worn out old song that you play 
Em/B           D 
Only Jesus and you who long to teach us  
       C                
Should know and be left to betray.

       G                              D    Dsus D      
It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay
