'The Way It Is' (Nicole Atkins) Nicole Atkins Neptune City (2007) This is the first song I have ever tried to learn by ear and here are the results. It sounds right to me, but you be the judge. ========

Don't tell ^Eme My love's not the one that I ^Fwant That he's not the one that I ^Gneed I'd rather ^Ffind out for my^Eself

You're the ^Eone Who shakes at the touch of my ^Fhand but can't decide where he should ^Gstand If I was ^Esmart I'd never ^Gcall you, call you ^Fever again

Oh, ^Cin my ears my ^Amblood is just ^Froa^Gring when ^Che's the only ^Amone I've ever ^Fwan^Gted ^EI sup^Fpose that's ^Ejust the ^Fway it ^Cis ^C7

C C7 C C7 |Cadd9 C Cmaj7 C7| F

Just think this could be ^F7 The last time I ^Ghold you, hold you ^G7ever again

Oh, ^CI don't think I'll ^Amever sleep till ^Fmor^Gning Coz ^Che's the only ^Amone I've ever ^Fwan^Gted Oh, and ^Cin my ears my ^Amblood is just ^Froa^Gring Coz ^Che's the only ^Amone I've ever ^Fwan^Gted ^EI sup^Fpose that's ^Ejust the ^Fway it ^Cis
