Caroline Herring - The Way That You Are
INTRO: G
It was too good to be true
C
How could I think it would be good at all
G
Still you stand tall
You had a story to tell
C
You said it had a happy ending
G
But not one for me
D
You strung me along
Said there's nobody else
CHORUS:
C G C
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
D
I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
G Am G
You have been for so long
C
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
G C
To help me reach the shore
D G C G
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
The first time you took my hand
C
And you wooed me with the language of love
G
And of life
The second time, still I believed
C
Your kids just told me that I was no fool
G
That you were not cruel
D
Then you broke my heart with ease
Saying, "I'm not a bad man"
CHORUS:
C G C
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
D
I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
G Am G
You have been for so long
C
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
G C
To help me reach the shore
D G C G
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
BRIDGE:
D
When the lies and the cheating and the blaming is on
C G
When the work day is ended and the [ ? ? ] is gone
A
Will you lie in your bed and no life remains?
C D
Do you know your deception, do you feel any pain_____?
CHORUS:
C ~ ~ ~ G C
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
D
And I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
G Am G
You have been for so long
C
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
G C
To help me reach the shore
D G C
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
D G C ~ ~ G
Oh, why would you want to be the way that you are?
