That's The Way It Is
Johnny Cash
Ton : A
RAemember back in school we learned the golden rule
Do unDto others as you'd have and do to yoAu
You're supDposed to love me as muAch as I love yoDu
It's a shaEme that ain't the way it iAs
LoAvers in a movie on that great big screen
He treDats her like she's a queen she treats him like a kiAng
Wouldn't thDat be nice if liAfe is lived that waDy
It's a shEame that ain't the way it isA
I'd liDke to start each morning with good morning deAar
And enDd each night with the goodnight kiAss
But alDl I have is your memory with me laying heAre
It's a shEame but that's the way it iAs
A loAve song tells a story of a good love going bad
Then paiDnts a pretty pictures of that same love coming baAck
I wiDsh that I could siAng it I wiDsh that I could paint iAt
It's a shEame that ain't the way it iAs
I'd liDke to start each morning with good morning deAar
And enDd each night with the goodnight kiAss
But alDl I have is your memory with me laying heAre
It's a shEame but that's the way it iAs
It's a shEame but that's the way it iAs
