Bruce Hornsby - Thats Just The Way It Is

      [Intro]
G D C and things like that at one point you just kinda compromise with that

[Verse]
C                G             D               C      
Standing in line marking time, waiting for the welfare dime
 C                G
'Cause they can't find a job
C                        G
The man in the silk suit hurries by                             
D                          C                                  G
As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes just for fun he says, "Get a job"

[Chorus]
 G                      
That's just the way it is
C
Some things will never change
G                       
That's just the way it is
C                      G
But don't you believe them

[Verse 2]
C                       G             D               C
They say hey little boy you can't go where the others go
 G                              C
'Cause you don't look like they do
C                G                    D          C
Said hey old man how can you stand to think that way
C                    G                            C               G
Did you really think about it before you made the rules, he said, son

[Chorus]
 G                      
That's just the way it is
C
Some things will never change
G                       
That's just the way it is
C                      G
But don't you believe them

[Verse 3]
C                         G                  D              C 
Well they passed a law in '64 To give those who ain't got a little more
C                   G                   
But it only goes so far 
            C                G     
because the law don't change another's mind
     D                  C                              G
When all it sees at the hiring time is the line on the color bar

[Final chorus]
G
That's just the way it is
C
Some things will never change
G
That's just the way it is
C                     G 
Thats just the way it is, it is, it is, it is
