D              A                  D                  G
Maybe we were meant to be like a heartbeat turning black
D                A                   D                     G
Wasted like the colors mixed while thieves steal out the black
D             A               B              G
It's like a broken smile, a step apart that gives you style
D           A                    D                 G
It doesn't need explaining you know it's fall when it starts raining

CHORUS:

D  G                       D
      It's just the way it is
G                          D
      It's just the way it is
G                          A
      It's just the way it is

D                    A              D               G
Touching through an open flame and sparks begin to fly
D             A                  D                 G
Looking for another way but you can't help passing by
D             A                B                 G
It's not your enemy, it's the sense somehow you won't be free
D          A               D                  G
It's only rank and file, trampled love, and walking wild

CHORUS

D            A                     D             G
Within the crystal pains that we shattered long ago
D           A                 D               G
Alone with what remains it's hard to let you know
D     A               B                      G
In a no-win fight, I guess two wrongs don't make a right
D             A                D              G
We're in the dash between the way we are and what we've been


CHORUS  (2x)

End in D
