Ain’t that just the way

 

 

Capo II

|Dm7 |G7 |Cmaj7 |Cmaj7

1. He was a very special warm and gentle person
|Dm7 |G7 |Cmaj7 |Cmaj7
who put music in the world and spoke in rhyme
|Am Am/G |Fmaj7 |Em |Em
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
|Dm7 |F |G7sus |tacet
'cause all it would have taken was some time.

 

2. You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
and when mountains got too steep for me to climb
and it tears me up to think I never touched him
|Dm7 |G7 |C |C
'cause all it would have taken was some time.

 

 

|Am |F |Em |Em

Refr. Ain't that just the way that life goes down, down, down, down,
|F |Dm7/G |Em |C
moving way too fast or much too slow?
|Am |Fmaj7 |Em |Em
Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere
|F |G# |Dm7/G |tacet
but not getting into someone I should know.

 

3. Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime.
I took all he had to give and gave him nothing
and all it would have taken was some time.

 

Refr.

|Am |Fmaj7 |Em |Em
Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere.
|Am |Fmaj7 |Em |Em
Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere.
|Am |Fmaj7 |Em |Em
Getting up, getting high, getting down, getting no, no, nowhere.
