The Way Its Always Been

 
              
 
 
 
 
F                       C     Bb         F 
   They shut down the Golden     Sahara Hotel 
F                    C                      Bb             F 
   Jessica says it won't be long 'til they blow it all to hell 
F                          C        Bb                F 
   She's standing in the front yard     cut off and skins 
F                 C                          Bb                F 
   Me and her brother we been friends, since I can't remember when 
 
 
F                  C  Bb               F 
   Ain't that the way    it's always been? 
F              C                            Bb            F 
   Everybody sittin' around waiting for the sun to come again 
 
 
F                  C              Bb                  F 
   A shift at the chemical plant,   a white wedding dress 
F                   C                           Bb            F 
   I wake up every morning and I wonder if I'm gonna pass the test 
F               C    Bb                   F 
   Try to live up to    but she's got in mind 
F                    C                              Bb              F 
   Sometimes the pressure's so heavy I feel like leaving it all behind me 
 
 
F                 C  Bb                   F 
  Ain't that the way    that it's always been? 
F                  C                   Bb             F 
  Laying low just long enough for the dust to settle down 
F                      C   Bb                    F 
  The black and the white,    the thick and the thin 
F                        C                      Bb                 F 
  And hoping that He's really got the power to save us from these sins 
F             C                             Bb           F 
  Everybody sittin' around waiting for the sun to come again 
 
 
Bb                       Dm 
   I took a long walk yesterday 
Gm        Am                   Dm 
   To a field where I used to play 
   F                              Bb 
I saw myself in the corner of my mind 
                             C 
I was twelve years old and blind 
                           Bb 
To the big wheel and the grind

F                 C  Bb                   F 
  Ain't that the way   that it's always been? 
F                  C                            Bb      F 
  Standin' at the water's edge waiting for the fog to clear 
F             C   Bb                  F 
  Tackle or touch,   you sink or you swim 
F                        C                      Bb                 F 
  And hoping that He's really got the power to save us from these sins 
F             C                            Bb           F 
  Everybody sittin' around waiting for the sun to come again 
          G             Bb             F 
They're waiting for the sun to come again
