Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
 G  D  A   G   D   A

Verse 1:
G                   D
 Everybody wants an easy ride on the
A
merry go round that we call life
G                 D
 Take a drive on cruise control then you
A
wake to find it's a winding road
G                D
  I had my dreams in view when the
A
money ran out and the engine blew
🎸

G               D
  Hung my tears out to dry then my
A
dreams fell out of that clear blue sky
   Dm7   Bb              C
And    I was walking the clouds
Am7                  Dm7
Feeling so safe and sound
Bb                      Asus    A
Something else knocks me   down   Well

Chorus:
D   D/F#                G
Oh that's the way it is
           Bm             A       D
You gotta roll with the punches
D/F#                  G
That's the way it goes
           Bm            A
You gotta bend when the wind blows
Bb    F/A                 Abdim7         Gm7
  You live you learn, you crash and burn     It's hit or miss
                  Bb/C              F    A
 (that's the way) that's the way it is

Verse 2:
G         D
One fine day you wake up
A
completely hopelessly fallin in love
G                      D
He's just what you're looking for the only
A
problem is that the man's not sure

G                         D
Another guy'll give you everything, only
A
problem is you don't feel a thing
G                   D
Well I know from experience nothing's
A
ever gonna make perfect sense

   Dm7   Bb              C
Oh, one day you get what you want
Am7                  Dm7
But it's not what you think

Then you get what you need
