C            D 
Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the most, no 
 D                           C                        G 
It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that way at all 

                          
C          D 
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yes

That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the strangest ways 


Verse 2 

D                         C                      G 
Even though we could never seem to work things out 
                           D 
I still love you just the same, I do 
D                            C 
I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes 
            G 
You're so beautiful, never change!
