[Intro]
D Bm Em A
[Verse 1]
D
On Sleepless nights down in the laundrymat
Bm
Watching the clothes, ghosts playing tit for tat
Em
We light up joints, talk about old friends
A
Dead or alive our stories never end
[Verse 2]
D
Turn it over, look on the back page
Bm
There's Johnny GoGo looks like he'll never age
Em
Sits in the Park House, drinking beer and landing flies
A C
Just afternoon, waiting for the trouble boys
[Chorus]
G D
That's just the way it is here
G D
No less and no more severe
G D
That's just the way it is here
C A D
So pull up your socks and lean on your peers
[Verse 3]
D
Did you hear about Hank? Booze rotted out his liver
Bm
Gray and depressed, he gave his wife the finger
Em
What about his kid, what about his ex-wife
A C
Ask themselves the same thing when they turn out the lights
[Verse 4]
D
I still remember the first time I saw him sing
Bm
Two black eyes from a Knuckle and a bikers ring
Em
Climbing up the speakers, hanging from the Bala rafters
A C
Hamilton punk king swinging to his own disaster
[Chorus]
G D
That's just the way it is here
G D
No less and no more severe
G D
That's just the way it is here
C A D
So pull up your socks and lean on your peers
[Verse 5]
D
Pattie couldn't make it, she jumped right out the window
Bm
Three floors down cuz they cut off her cable
Em
Dan took the same fall, fireball on Hunter Street
A C
Landed on the side walk looked just like a chicken wing
[Verse 6]
D
It was a heartfelt night it was raining
Bm
Tim told us the whole story hanging at the gas station
Em
I never wanted to hear that description
A C
But now I know what is or isn't fiction
[Chorus]
G D
That's just the way it is here
G D
No less and no more severe
G D
That's just the way it is here
C A
So pull up your socks and lean on your peers
[Outro]
