The Way Things Are

D A G D A G D A G Trapped me in the woods as if I wanna see you naked D Girl if that were the case, you think you'd have this conversation? A G Nah, I just came to pick your brain to pieces G Asked you out this summer, been out, seen you planting trees D A G You sit on the rocks 'cause you're tired G I just can't relate, 'cause I'm wild D A Going off to college, get your ass to know the name G Ask you where you learned the things you know, and me, I'm still the same D A G You say in the back of your best friend's car G Couldn't even teach ya, so you learned from afar D A G Say, stop, we the ones who meet the odds G Yeah, we growing up tall in the city D A G You say in the back of your best friend's car G Couldn't even teach ya, so you learned from afar D A G Say, stop, we the ones who meet the odds, yeah G That's just the way things are (Ha, Ha, Ha) D A Fentay, fentay, fentay o casa G You looking at me for answers D One side of your brain is the sunrise, the other just seem like a monster A Fentay, fentay o casa G You looking at me for answers G We take one step in the parlour, your parents don't know where we were N.C. A Fentay, fentay, fentay o casa G I wish the night could be longer G I wish I still had you right here, but that's just not how it is D A G That's not how it is, that's not how it is G That's not how it is D A G If I could somehow know all the lessons in my life in a day G I'd sit down and pray D A I'd sit down and ask you if there was a way G Where do I learn the things I need to know when I'm of age? D A G You say in the back of your best friend's car G Couldn't even teach ya, so you learned from afar D A G Say, stop, we the ones who meet the odds G Yeah, we growing up tall in the city D A G You say in the back of your best friend's car G Couldn't even teach ya, so you learned from afar D A G Say, stop, we the ones who meet the odds, yeah G That's just the way things are (Ha, Ha, Ha) D A G Pseudo motivation, oh they like the way she's speakin' G I hide in the dark, they can't even hear me breathing D A G Leaning on the ones you love while you so good at leaving G D Well I just fake a smile, I wonder what you see in me A G Do you even miss home? G I've made lots of friends, I don't want to let them go D A G Lay back on the road, with a trunk full of gold D A G In the back of the car, ash marks on your pants and your arms D A G Remember we were young and afraid to be apart G Now you're learning all the lessons that your parents never taught D A G You say in the back of your best friend's car G Couldn't even teach ya, so you learned from afar D A G Say, stop, we the ones who meet the odds G Yeah, we growing up tall in the city D A G You say in the back of your best friend's car G Couldn't even teach ya, so you learned from afar D A G Say, stop, we the ones who meet the odds, yeah G That's just the way things are (Ha, Ha, Ha) (Ha, Ha, Ha) D A G D A G D A G D A G
