Intro:
D Bm G A (twice)
A D Bm
You've traveled so far, the wind in your face
G A
You're thinking you've found the one special place
D Bm
where all your dreams will walk out in line,
G A
and follow the course you've made in your mind
[CHORUS]
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
A D Bm
I came on my own, and felt much like you
G A
I thought I was king, and knew what to do
D Bm
But everything burned, and fell from my hand
G A
I had to turn back, or build a new plan
[CHORUS]
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
A D Bm
If I were a God, I’d give you a clue
G A
this minute would crack, and I could go through
D Bm
and walk out in time, where no one has been
G A
I'd come back to you, and tell what I'd seen
[CHORUS]

Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
A D Bm
You'll just have to live, and see what you find
G A
and take it from there, and follow the signs.
D Bm
Yeah, you think you can live, and dream your own fate
G A
you think you can wish, and walk through the gate
[CHORUS]
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
G A
It isn't gonna be-----that way.
D Bm
Well, it isn't gonna be that way---
