[Verso 1]
  
Am                        E             Dm          E               
Do you remember once upon a time, when you were mine  
Am          E                          Dm                      E  
The stars above were bright and new I pulled them down for you  
        Dm            E                  Dm                        E  
Just when I fell in love again you said that all good things must end  


[Refrão]

Am   F                         G     Dm  
Baby, that's just the way it is baby Oh oh  
Am   F                      G  
Baby, that's just the way it is baby  
  
Verse2  
I've never had a hand for solitaire, it's so unfair  
That I should have my chance and lose, I feel like I've been used  
To help you through another night, you've spelled it out in black and white  
  
Chorus  
  
Solo (Verse: first 2 lines)  
  
Verse3  
The tide that once had carried you away, bring you back today  
Now the time has washed away my pain, you'll find that things have changed  
         Dm               E                      Dm                      G  
And disappeared without a trace, you can't get back what you've erased  
  
Chorus  
And I say  
C9     G                             F                         G  
Baby, that's just the way it is baby that's just the way it is  
C9    G                              F                          G  
Baby, that's just the way it is baby that's just the way it is
