That's the way it is Daniel Lanois
[Intro] no capo
G D Em C x2
[Verse]
G D
The many miles we walk
Em C
The many things we learn
G D
The building of a shrine
Em C
Only just to burn
[Verse]
G D
May the wind be at your back
Em C
Good fortune touch your hand
G D
May the cards lay out a straight
Em C
All from your command
[Chorus]
G D Em C
That's the way it is That's the way it is
G D Em C
That's the way it is That's the way it is
[Verse 3]
G D
Blue heron leaves the northen sky
Em C
Thrusts the journey to new heights
G D
What's the meaning of the scar
Em C
If we don't learn how to heal
G D
Should we ever be apart
Em C
Then how does it feel
[Chorus]
G D Em C
That's the way it is That's the way it is
G D Em C
That's the way it is That's the way it is
[Bridge]
Em C Em C G
Shine light into darkness
[solo] G D Em C x2
[Chorus]
G D Em C
That's the way it is That's the way it is
G D Em C
That's the way it is That's the way it is
G D Em C G
That's the way it is That's the way it is
[Solo Out] G D Em C x2
