Intro

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

(bass line:--D)

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

(bass line:--D)

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

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

(bass line:--D)

And a silence entered the room for a one last,

"I’m gonna love you"

– -

So God bless and thank you

So God bless and thank you, thank you

Yeah
