Verse 1:
Bittersweet sea – sons
Mistake a warm winter for spring
Seems like I’m best at leaving when leaving is not the best thing
Pre – Chorus 1:
You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give
That’s just the way it goes now
Verse 2:
I call you mis - placed but never a waste of my time
Everybody’s gonna make mistakes,
But you’ll never be one of mine
Pre – Chorus 2:
You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give
That’s just the way it goes now
I knew you felt me leaving long before I ever did
That’s just the way it goes now
Chorus 1:
G (bass line:B-C-D) Ebdim
Loved me fearless when you needed to
You would not rest till you came through
So God bless and thank you
Verse 3:
There is no an - ger, it's just you and I and the truth
You can try to make her but love will not be forced to bloom, to bloom
Pre – Chorus 3:
You couldn’t help it if you needed more than I could give
That’s just the way it goes now
The only love worth fighting for is one that you can win and,
That’s just the way it goes now
Chorus 2:
G (bass line:B-C-D) Ebdim
You would not break but you could bend
And for love’s sake you let love end,
But I still swear that you were God sent
Instrumental:

Pre – Chorus 4:
And you stood before me knowing that the wings I have you gave
And that’s just the way it goes now
And I barely have the breath to breathe much less to fly away
And that’s just the way it goes now
Chorus 3:
G (bass line:B-C-D) Ebdim Em
And a silence entered the room for a one last,
"I’m gonna love you"
