The Way It Is

G A
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is

Then just add C and D power chords

G A
   Everything is the way it is
C D
   It's got to be like you say it is
G A
   I need a heartache, but it won't 
be long
C D
   Till I get to where it's coming 
on
G A
   A little fame and I know it's 
true
C D
   You can feel it and it's coming 
for you
G A
   No matter how hard I've tried to 
stay
C D
   I feel you pulling me further 
away

Then just A, to G, to D for the 
chorus

A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo
A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo

G A
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything's the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is

G A
   Staying young is a trivial game
C D
   You're gettin' older but you stay
 the same
G A
   You look good when you shaking my
 way
C D
   But let me think of something 
awful to say

A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo
A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo

(I find this part works well, 
although not in the recording, if 
you play the
chords then palm mute eighth notes 
of the second chord)

G A A(palm muted)
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything is the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is

G A A(palm muted)
   I step back take a total view
C D D(palm muted)
   I take a little, but it's hard to
 do
G A A(palm muted)
   But I'll call, I'll try to change
C D D(palm muted)
   It's better than to stay the same

A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo
A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo
A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo
A G D
     Hey hey hey
A G D
     Oo oo oo

G A
   Everything's the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
   Everything's the way it is
   It's got to be the way it is
