Intro Bm7  Bm7/A  G#m7  G 

Bm7                    Bm7/A 
There's so much left to say 
                     G#m7     F#m7 
I guess I'm just the bigger   guy 
            Bm7            Bm7/A 
And there's too much on my mind 
                  G#m7     F#m7 
That I don't even want to  try 
           Bm7               Bm7/A 
Guess it's not far from the ordinary 
             G#m7    F#m7 
They do say: Love is blind 
      Bm7              Bm7/A     F#m7 
But I guess that's the way things go 

Bm7     Bm7/A             G#m7 F#m7 
Can't remember how to say your name 
Bm7   Bm7/A                      G#m7    F#m7 
Let alone count all the freckles on your face 
Bm7   Bm7/A              G#m7 F#m7 
A distant memory I used  to   know 
      Bm7                   Bm7/A          G#m7 F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 
      Bm7                   Bm7/A      F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 
Bm7     Bm7/A                G#m7  F#m7 
Can't remember when you said you'd call 
Bm7   Bm7/A                 G#m7  F#m7 
Miles away, and it was still my   fault 
Bm7     Bm7/A                     G#m7 F#m7 
The love you said you had, it sometime showed 
      Bm7                   Bm7/A          G#m7 F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 
      Bm7                   Bm7/A      F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 

Bm7                    Bm7/A 
And there's so much left to say 
                     G#m7   F#m7 
I guess I'm just the bigger guy 
            Bm7            Bm7/A 
And there's too much on my mind 
                  G#m7     F#m7 
That I don't even want to  try 
           Bm7               Bm7/A

             G#m7     F#m7 
They do say: Love is blind 
      Bm7              Bm7/A                F#m7 
But I guess that's the way things go 

Bm7     Bm7/A                G#m7   F#m7 
Didn't think you'd ever stoop so    low 
Bm7     Bm7/A              G#m7 F#m7 
Getting with the only girl you know 
Bm7     Bm7/A             G#m7 F#m7          Bm7 
A lousy route that only makes me say: That's pretty lame 
               Bm7/A               G#m7 F#m7 
And that's the way things go 
      Bm7                   Bm7/A            F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 

Bm7         Bm7/A              G#m7 F#m7 
Passed your house when I was on a   train 
Bm7   Bm7/A                G#m7 F#m7 
In my mind, you always stay the same 
Bm7       Bm7/A               G#m7 F#m7 
I'm happy now, I ought to let you  know 
      Bm7              Bm7/A              G#m7 F#m7 
But I guess that's the way things go 
      Bm7                   Bm7/A              F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 
            Bm7       Bm/A                     G#m7 F#m7 
And I don't mind that that's the way things go 

Bm7       Bm/A       G#m7 F#m7 
And I don't mind, I don't mind 
Bm7       Bm/A   G#m7 F#m7 
I don't mind, I don't mind 
Bm7       Bm/A   G#m7 F#m7 
I don't mind, I don't mind 
      Bm7              Bm7/A              G#m7 F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go 
      Bm7              Bm7/A           F#m7 
Oh, I guess that's the way things go
