Mark Erelli - The Only Way


Intro:
C majorC E minorEm FF G+G C majorC

Verse 1:
      C majorC
I read the paper
        E minorEm
And I watch the news
         A minorAm
It seems there's only pain and suffering
        E minorEm
And there ain't nothing I can do
    FF
It's so senseless
     G+G
I feel defenceless
  C majorC   G+G
So small

Verse 2:
        C majorC
I could shut my windows
       E minorEm
I could bolt doors
     A minorAm
But if I don't feel safe enough
      E minorEm
To speak my mind anymore
        FF
Then what's the use
           G+G
I've nothing left to lose
         C majorC
And no further to fall


Chorus:
       G+G
So I'm gonna love
        A minorAm
And I'm gonna believe
     G+G
I'm gonna dream
       A minorAm
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
   E minorEm                FF
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
      C majorC    G+G       FF
That's the only way I know how to live

Verse 3:
     C majorC
It was a nightmare
       E minorEm
No tongue can tell
  A minorAm
The streets of New York city
      E minorEm
Looked just like the gates of Hell
   FF
In a flash
         G+G
The smoke and the ash
         C majorC   G+G
Pouring down like rain


Verse 4:
         C majorC
But they circled wagons
         E minorEm
And they gathered round
    A minorAm
As they bravely pulled our brothers
    E minorEm
And our sisters from the ground
   FF
And I know
         G+G
That we owe them more
      C majorC
Than to be afraid


Chorus:
       G+G
So I'm gonna love
        A minorAm
And I'm gonna believe
     G+G
I'm gonna dream
       A minorAm
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
   E minorEm                FF
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
      C majorC    G+G       FF
That's the only way I know how to live


Verse 5:
      C majorC
So why seek vengeance?
       E minorEm
What comes of war?
    A minorAm
I know freedom has a price
    E minorEm
But it doesn't keep score
         FF
It's too much to swallow
       G+G
It's left me hollow
        C majorC
After all this time
      G+G
All of this time


Verse 6:
      C majorC
But I won't tell you
     E minorEm
What to believe
      A minorAm
But I'm too young to be so cynical
    E minorEm
And too old to be naïve
   FF
Every action
      G+G
Breeds a reaction
        C majorC
So let this be mine


Chorus:
       G+G
So I'm gonna love
        A minorAm
And I'm gonna believe
     G+G
I'm gonna dream
       A minorAm
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
   E minorEm                FF
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
      C majorC    G+G       FF
That's the only way I know how to live
