Always This Way

C                    F            C
I'd like to say that I could've stayed
    F            C     G
But she didn't want me to
C                    F         C
I'd like to know if she had to go
    F            C     G
Or if she made a point to

[Chorus 1]
Am              Ammaj7
It's so hard to say
Am7                Ammaj7
"Is it always this way?"
F                Em
Must every heart break
       Dm           G
Like a wave on the bay

[Verse 2]
C                       F            C
Like to think that we're all a link in
      F           C       G
What makes the world go round
C                  F         C
Lately I wonder if all my pondering's
F      C            G
Taken up too much ground

[Chorus 2]
Am             Ammaj7
I make my own way
F                    Em
So at the end of the day
Am             Ammaj7
At least I can say
         Dm               G
That my debts have been paid

[Verse 3]
C           F           C
25 years, nothing to show for it
F     C           G
Nothing of any weight
C               F         C
25 more, will I never learn from it
F       C              G
Never learn from my mistakes

[Chorus 3]
Am               Ammaj7
It's too soon to say
Am7                Ammaj7
"Was I always this way?"
F                      Em
Well at the end of the day
     Dm             G
My debts have been paid

[Verse 4]
C                      F     C
Now she's gone and I'm all alone
F             C        G
And she will not be replaced
C                           F    C
Stare at the phone, try to carry on
F           C        G
But I have made my mistake

[Chorus 4]
Am                Ammaj7
At the end of the day
Am7            Ammaj7
At least I can say
F             Em
I made my own way
        Dm              G
And my debts have been paid
