The Way Things Are

B Am F C
B Am F C

[Verse 1]
B                      Am    
I wouldn't know what to do with 
          F
another chance
       C
If you gave it to me
B                  Am            
I couldn't take the embrace of a 
    F
real romance
     C
It'd race right through me
F         Em             Dm     
I'm much better off the way 
         Am
things are, are
F          Em          Dm       
Much much better off, better by 
      Am
far, by far

[Verse 2]
B                      Am        
I wouldn't know what to say to a 
      F
gentle voice
     C
It'd roll right past me
B                            Am  
And if you chalk it up you'll see
                      F
 I don't really have a choice
         C
So don't even ask me
F         Em             Dm     
I'm much better off the way 
         Am
things are, are

F          Em          Dm       
Much much better off, better by 
      Am
far, by far

[Chorus]
G                            Em  
       So keep on calling me 
                 Bm
names, keep on, keep on
G                    Em          
       And I'll keep kicking the 
               Bm
crap till it's gone
G                     Em         
       If you keep on killing, 
                  Bm
you could get me to settle
                Am
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll 
be
F            Am
Able to move on
F            Am

[Bridge]
F            Em      F          
     How can I fight, when we're
           Em
 on the same side
F            Em             B7
     How can I fight beside you

keep on, keep on
G                    Em          
       And I'll keep kicking the 
               Bm
crap till it's gone
G                     Em         
       If you keep on killing,

you could get me to settle

names, keep on, keep on
G                    Em          
       And I'll keep kicking the 
               Bm
crap till it's gone
G                     Em         
       If you keep on killing, 
                  Bm
you could get me to settle
                         Em
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll 
be
F            Am
Able to move on
