That's Just The Way It Is chords by Phil Collins

Intro 4x: F  A#

F                        A#/F
   All day long he was fighting for you
          F                       A#/F
   And he didn't even know your name
F                       A#
   Young men come and young men go
       F                       A#
   But life goes on just the same


                 C
And I don't know why
               Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
             C
I don't know why
                 Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
   C
Oh why
                           Dm7
Is there something I don't know
                  C                  Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me
          | F | A# |
Or maybe

           F          A#/F  | F | A#/F |
That's the way it is
           F          A#/F
That's the way it is


F                 A#/F
  They've been waiting for word to come down
             F                           A#/F
They've been waiting for you night and day
           F          A#/F
They won't wait any longer for you
   F                    A#/F
It may already be too late


                 C
And I don't know why
               Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
             C
I don't know why
                 Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
   C
Oh why
                           Dm7
Is there something I don't know
                  C                  Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me
          | F | A# |
Or maybe


           F          A#/F  | F | A#/F |
That's the way it is
           F               A#/F
That's the just way it is


Gm7                        D#
  You see the dying, you feel the pain
A#                      Cm7
What have you got to say
Gm7                       D#
  If we agree that we can disagree
A#                             Cm7
We could stop all of this today


F                             A#/F
  It's been your life for as long as you can remember
        F                  A#/F
But you cannot fight no more
F                           A#/F
 You must want to look your son in the eyes
        F                          A#/F
When he asks you what you did it for
F                           A#/F
 'cos all day long he was fighting for you
       F                        A#/F
And he didn't even know your name
F                     A#/F
 Young men come and young men go
    F                       A#/F
But life goes on just the same


                 C
and I don't know why
A              Dm7
Why do we keep holding on
             C
I don't know why
                 Dm7
Pretending to be oh so strong
   C
Oh why
                          Dm7
Is there something no one told me
                  C                  Dm7
Or something very wrong with you and me
          | F | A# |
Or maybe


           F                      A#/F
That's the way it is, (that’s the way…)
F                       A#/F
 Thers's nothing I can do
                F          A#/F
That's just the way it is
That’s the way...)
