Tom: G
Em Bm C G
Uhh Uh-uhh Uh-uhh Uh-uhh
[Verse 1]
C G
He was a very special warm and gentle person
C G
who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
D Em Bm
and it hurts me that I never really knew him
C G
'cause all it would have taken was some time
C G
you know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
C G
and when mountains got too steep for me to climb
D Em Bm
and it tears me up to think I never touched him
C G
'cause all it would have taken was some time
[Chorus]
Oh oh ohhh
Em
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
Bm
down, down, down, down
C G
movin' way too fast or much too slow
Em
gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere
C G
but not gettin' into someone I should know
[Verse 2]
C G
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
C G
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
D Em Bm
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
C G
and all it would have taken was some time
[Chorus]
Oh oh ohhh
Em
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
Bm
down, down, down, down
C G
movin' way too fast or much too slow
Em
gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere
C G
but not gettin' into someone I should know
[Chorus]
Em
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
Bm
down, down, down, down
C G
movin' way too fast or much too slow
Em
gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere
C G
not gettin' into someone I should know
[Bridge]
Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
Bm
gettin' no, no,
Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
Bm
gettin' no, no,
Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
Bm
gettin' no, no,
Em
Gettin' up gettin' high, gettin' down,
Bm
gettin' no, no,
[Chorus]
Em
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
Bm
down, down, down, down
C G
movin' way too fast or much too slow
Em
gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Bm
gettin' no, no, nowhere
C G
not gettin' into someone I should know
