The way it is

 
               
INTRO: Am Em D C G Am Em = repeat twice
 
Am             Em7 
Standing in line marking time 
D            C9 
Waiting for the welfare dime 
G         Am            C9 
  'Cause they can't buy a job 
 
   Am              Em7 
a man in a silk suit hurries by 
       D           C 
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes 
G           D        C9 
   Just for fun he says "Get a job" 
 
G F C9 
That's just the way it is 
G F C9 
Some things will never change 
G F C9 
That's just the way it is 
G F C9 
Ah - But don't you believe them 
 
Am Em D C G Am Em = repeat twice 
 
They say hey little boy you can't go 
Where the others go 
'Cause you don't look like they do 
Said hey old man how can you stand 
To think that way 
Did you really think about it 
Before you made the rules 
He said, Son 
 
That's just the way it is 
Some things will never change 
That's just the way it is 
Ah - But don't you believe them 
 
Well they passed a law in '64 
To give those who ain't got a little more 
But it only goes so far 
Because the law don't change in another's mind 
When all it sees is the hiring time 
Is the line on the color bar 
 
That's just the way it is 
Some things will never change 
That's just the way it is 
That's just the way it is ,it is ,it is,it is
