The Way We Are chords by Jesse Dayton

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

D MajorD                A augmentedA
We blew our minds out, the night before


  D MajorD          G+G
On Mexican lettuce, and cold Lonestar


     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Now we’re drivin’ to a gig too far


G+G         A augmentedA      D MajorD
We can’t help the way that we are

Verse 2:

D MajorD                 A augmentedA
Last night we sold out, we had it wired


D MajorD                   G+G
Tonight we couldn’t get arrested if we set ourselves on fire


D MajorD              A augmentedA
Still we’re picking on these guitars


     G+G         A augmentedA      D MajorD
Brother, we can’t help the way that we are


Chorus:

G+G
Well now, can I sing to you the truth about the blues


G+G                D MajorD
And the heartache that we all go through?


G+G
It ain’t the ex-wife or the whiskey, or the life of a gypsy


G+G               A augmentedA
Just the toll on the souls of me and you

Post-Chorus:

D MajorD               A augmentedA
So now we’re up there, on the stage


   D MajorD                G+G
Just pickin’ for the wealthy and the minimum wage


          D MajorD             A augmentedA
And we’d do it for nothin’ or drinks from the bar


   G+G         A augmentedA      D MajorD
Cause we can’t help the way that we are


Solo:
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
D MajorD A augmentedA
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD

Chorus:

G+G
Can I sing to you the truth about the blues


G+G                D MajorD
And the heartache that we all go through?


G+G
It ain’t the ex-wife or the whiskey, or the life of a gypsy


G+G               A augmentedA
Just the toll on the souls of me and you


Post-Chorus:

D MajorD               A augmentedA
So now we’re up there, on the stage


   D MajorD                G+G
Just pickin’ for the wealthy and the minimum wage


          D MajorD             A augmentedA

Brother, we can’t help the way that we are


D MajorD
