Doesn't Have To Be This Way chords by Alison Krauss

Doesn’t Have to be This Way Capo 4

[Verse 1]

G            D
Sometimes I wonder where are you coming from when you
Em             C
Roll in like thunder just to turn around and run…
   G               D  Dsus D
It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay


[Verse 2]

G              D
You smell like moonlight and early morning rain
Em          C
Pray tell a fool but surrender to your pain
G            D  Dsus D
Or find a cure for your decay

[Chorus]

C             G/B
You’re at your best with an ache in your chest
    D             C
And that worn out old song that you play
G/B      D
Only Jesus and you who long to teach us
   C
Should know and be left to betray.


[Verse 3]

G             D
I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame
    Em          C
You can choose the dancer if you could choose the flame
 G                  D  Dsus D
I think you’ll find they’re one in the same
             Em
It doesn’t have to be this way


[Break]

[Chorus]

C             Em
You’re at your best with an ache in your chest
    D             C
And that worn out old song that you play
Em      D
Only Jesus and you who long to teach us
   C
Should know and be left to betray.


[Bridge]

 G             D
I don’t know the answer but I know who to blame
Em          C
Pray tell a fool but surrender to your pain
   G                D  Dsus D
It’s a good thing I don’t need you to stay
