(Verse 1)
[G]Two Augusts a[Gmaj7]go
I told the [Am7]truth oh, but
you didn't [C]like it, you went home
[G]You're in your [Gmaj7]Benz, I'm by the [Am7]gate [C]
[G]Now you go a[Gmaj7]lone
Charm all the [Am7]people you train
for, you [C]mean well but aim low
[G]And I'll make it [Gmaj7]known like I'm getting [Am7]paid [C]
(Chorus)
That's just the [G]way life [Gmaj7]goes
I like to [Am7]slam doors [C]closed
Trust me, I [G]know it's [Gmaj7]always about me[Am7]
I [C]love you, I'm sorry
(Verse 2)
[G]Two summers from [Gmaj7]now
We'll have been [Am7]talking, but not
all that [C]often, we're cool now
[G]I'll be on a [Gmaj7]boat, you're on
a [Am7]plane [C]going somewhere, [G]same
And I'll have a [Gmaj7]drink
Wistfully [Am7]lean out my window
and [C]watch the sun set on the l[G]ake
I might not feel [Gmaj7]real, but it's [Am7]okay, m[C]mm
(Chorus)
Cause that's just they [G]way life [Gmaj7]goes
I push my [Am7]luck, it [C]shows
Thankful you [G]don't send [Gmaj7]someone to kill me[Am7]
I [C]love you, I'm sorry
(Bridge)
[G]You were the best but you were the worst
As [Gmaj7]sick as it sounds, I loved you first
[Am7]I was a dick, it is what it is
A [C]habit to kick the age-old curse
[Em]I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad
I [Gmaj7]stare at the crash, it actually works
[Am7]Making amends, this shit never ends
I'm [C]wrong again, wrong again
(Chorus)
The [G]way life [Gmaj7]goes
Joyriding [Am7]down our [C]road
Lay on the [G]horn to [Gmaj7]prove that it haunts meAm7
I [C]love you I'm sorry
The [G]way life [Gmaj7]goes
I wanna [Am7]speak in [C]code
Hope that I [G]don't won't [Gmaj7]make it about m[Am7]e
I [C]love you, I'm sorry
