Just the way it is, baby (1990)
C - G - F - G (2x)
Am E Dm E Am
1. Do you remember once upon a time, when you were mine
?
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.
Am - F G

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby, oh, oh !
Am -
F G
- G7
Baby, that's just the way it
is, baby.
Am E Dm E Am
2. I've never had a hand for solitaire, it's so unfair,
E Dm
E
that
I should have my chance and lose, I feel like I've been used
Dm
E
to
help you through another night,
Dm E
you've
spelled it out in black and white.
+ CHORUS + Am - E - Dm - E (2x)
Am E Dm E Am
3. The tide that once had carried you away, bring you back today,
E Dm
the
time has washed away my pain,
E
you'll
find that things have changed,
Dm E
and
disappeared without a trace,
Dm G - - - - - -
you
can't get back what you've erased. And I
say…
C
- G F - G
+ Baby, that's just the way it is, baby !
