Dm  Asus4
Ah baby
      Dm
After many tears fall from your eyes
                     G7           D
A thousand times you ask yourself why
    Dm
The one guy you love has departed
       A
You're left alone and broken-hearted
Dm
Love just comes and goes
                         G7     D
How long it's gonna last nobody knows

CHORUS:
D 
That's the way love is, baby 
G
That's the way love is, sugar, how it is
D
That's the way love is, baby
G
That's the way love is, sugar, how it is
G             Dm
That's how it is

Dm
I know you're walkin' down a lonesome road
                             G7    D
And your heart is carryin' a heavy load
           Dm
I know you feel like you ain't got a friend (ain't got a friend)
         A
And your whole world's cavin' in (cavin' in)
        Dm
Ah, but now is the time to be strong (to be strong)
                      G7            D                                 
You better forget him now that he's gone (now that he's gone)
Remember...

(chorus)
(instrumental)


Listen to me, little darlin'
    Dm
The road of love is rough sometimes
                         G7      D
But don't let it get the best of you
          Dm
I've been hurt by love so many times
  A
I know just what you're goin' through
    Dm
You wish you were never born
                      G7            D
You better forget him now that he's gone

(chorus)


Wipe away your tears
        Dm
Love is here today and gone tomorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
All your joys turn to sorrow
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
One day gladness, and the next day sadness
(That's the way love is, sugar, how it is)
...and fade
