Ain't That Just The Way

He was a [C]very special warm and gentle [Bm]person
who put the [C]music in the world and spoke in [Bm]rhyme
and it [C]hurts me that I never really [Bm]knew him
'cause all it [C]would have taken was some [G]time

you know he a[C]lways seemed to be there when I [Bm]stumbled
and when moun[C]tains got too steep for me to [Bm]climb
and it [C]tears me up to think I never [Bm]touched him
'cause all it [C]would have taken was some [G]time

[Em]Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
[Bm]down, down, down, down
[C]movin' way too fast or much too [G]slow
[Em]gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
gettin' [Bm]no, no, nowhere
but not [C]gettin' into someone I should [G]know

Same as verse before;

Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
and I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
and all it would have taken was some time

Chorus x 2
Gettin' [Em]up gettin' high, gettin' down,
gettin' [Bm]no, no, nowhere repeat (3X then fade out)
