************* IT IS WHAT IT IS *************
written by Stephen Burton and John Fleming
performed by Waylon Jennings
Kris Kristofferson
Willie Nelson
Johnny Cash
Verse 1:
E
I've been obnoxious
I've been unconscious
I've been all kinds of things that are hard to spell
A
I've been unruly
Speakin' truly
I've been so cool i couldn't hardly even stand myself
Verse 2:
E
I've been a monster
Without a sponsor
I've been Dr. Jekill and Mr. Hyde
A
I've been a goner
I've been a loner
And when my mixture was right
Hell,i'm a nice bunch of guys
Chorus:
B A E
I am what i am 'cause i ain't what i used to be
B A E
'Cause it is what it is but it ain't what it used to be
Verse 3:
E
I been a mover
I was a shaker
You had a girlfriend
I tried to snake her
A
I've been mysterious
I've been delirious
I've been so weird it would have killed a normal man
Verse 4:
E
I wanted money
I wanted power
I want a monument
Kind of like the Eiffel Tower
A
I've been lost at sea
I've been lost in space
And when i fall in love
I fall all over the place
Chorus.
Verse 5:
A
And you can go on forever and make the same mystakes
B
Or you can stand up on your hind legs and change your fate
A
Go on and do until you finally see
B
What it is that you was that you don't want to be
Verse 6:
E
I was an outlaw
I was an in-law
I was a scapegoat
That was the last straw
A
I hit the highway
Singin' my way
But it wound up sounding like you'll never walk alone
Verse 7:
E
I got a story
Reflected glory
Is the way that i've been seein' for most of my life
A
I heard the laughter
Up in the rafter
But i never ever thought that the joke was on me
Chorus(x2).
