Verse:
E
You work hard now
E
To put the food on the table
E
You're working for the men
E
Who don't even know your name
Chorus:
Asus2
That's the way that it goes
E
When you're down here with the rest of us
Verse:
E
You might lose now
E
Your beautiful children
E
Your happy home, yeah
E
And your beautiful wife
Chorus:
Asus2
That's the way that it goes
E
When you're down here with the rest of us
-------------And continue chord pattern--------------------
You'll suffer hard now
As you bury
Your loved ones
You'll suffer hard now
When you lose your best friend
That's the way that it goes
When you're down here with the rest of us
That's the way that it goes
And I know how you feel
Solo: (same as before)
E
No ones immune now
To a world of problems
No ones exempt now
From a world of pain
That's the way that it goes
When you're down here with the rest of us
I try hard now
To do the right thing
Yet I wonder
Why I still do what's wrong
That's the way that it goes
When you're down here with the rest of us
That's the way that it goes
