Standard tuning
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Am F C
So you're standing in the parking lot of life
Am F C
And you're try'na figure out your fate tonight
Am F C
Then you hear a sound commin' out of the car radio
Am F C
Sayin' son if you don't learn then you will never know
Am F C
So you try to drag your feet down to the bar
Am F C
When you starting to forget just who you are
Am F C
And they told you it was written in the stars
Am F C
But you've never had a chance to look that far...
[Chorus]
Am F C
Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;
Am F C
Maybe you'll die young before you're old
Am F C
Yhea.. that's just the way it is;
Am F C
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
[Verse 2]
In a world that changes every day
It's easy to get lost along the way
In a world that's never as it seems
Where people try buy and sell their dreams
Where people try buy and sell their dreams
(x2)
Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;
Maybe you'll die young before you're old
Yhea.. that's just the way it is;
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
[Instrumental]
Am F C
Am F C
Am F C
G
[Chorus]
F C G
Yhea.. that's just the way it goes;
F C G
Maybe you'll die young before you're old
F C G
Yhea.. that's just the way it is;
F C G
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
F C G
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
[Outro]
[strum softly]
F C G
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live...
F C G
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live...
Am F C
'Cos nobody understands just what it is...
