Doesnt Have To Be This Way

Tom: G

G                        D                       
 Sometimes I wonder where you're coming from when you 
Em                           Cadd9
 Roll in like thunder just to turn around and run…
       G                              D    Dsus4 D      
 It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay


[Verse 2]
G                            D    
 You smell like moonlight and early morning rain
Em                       Cadd9              
 Pray til' a fool, but surrender to your pain
G                         D    Dsus4 D 
 Or find a cure for your decay


[Chorus]
Cadd9                       G/B
 You’re at your best with an ache in your chest
         D                          Cadd9
 And that worn out old song that you play
G/B            D
 Only Jesus and you who long to teach us 
       Cadd9               
 Should no one be left to betray.


[Verse 3]
G                           D
 I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame 
        Em                    Cadd9        
 You can choose the dancer and you can choose the flame
  G                                    D      
 I think you’ll find they’re one in the same
                          Em
 It doesn’t have to be this way

G  D  Em  Cadd9  G  D  G  D  Em  Cadd9  G  D  


[Chorus]
Cadd9                       Em
 You’re at your best with an ache in your chest
         D                          Cadd9
 And that worn out old song that you play
Em             D
 Only Jesus and you who long to teach us 
       Cadd9               
 Should no one be left to betray.


[Bridge]
G                           D
 I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame 
Em                     Cadd9              
 Pray til' a fool but surrender to your pain
       G                              D        
 It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay
