The Way That You Are-The Classic Crime
Tuning: Standard
VERSE
C
He gets his information from overhearing conversations.
G
He doesn't ask questions,
D
doesn't learn many lessons.
C
And he keeps his mouth shut,
till he boils over, and he blows up
G
And then he can't form his words right,
D
they don't fit together so tight
PRE-CHORUS
Em F#m G Em F#m G
And I hope to God that he will find his name
G
and not listen to his so called friends
D
when they so boldly say:
CHORUS
Em D G C
"This is the way, that you are,"
Don't let them say
Em D G C
"This is the way, that you are"
VERSE
She doesn't have much to say about yesterday
or what happened to her, when she was eight
So she drinks a lot, and it her makes feel okay
For the moment, but it's gone when she wakes
PRE-CHORUS
And I hope you know that someone out there loves you
So don't give yourself away,
and don't listen to them when they say:
CHORUS
"This is the way, that you are,"
Don't let them say
"This is the way, that you are"
No!
This is the way, that you are.
Don't let them say
This is the way, that you are.
Don't let them say
This is the way,
This is the way,
This is the way that you are.
Don't let them say,
This is the way,
This is the way that you are.
