Tyler Ward - The Way We Are

      
 
 The way we are - Tyler Ward
 Standard tuning: Capo 1
 
 VERSE 1:
 Em                     G    
 I'm backseat to your freeway
             D           
 This could never be safe
           A                   
 Cause, I might get lost in you
 Em                       G    
 I'm just a little bit defeated
               D    
 I've got my reasons
       G                              
 One being you're just passing through
 
 
 Em          G              
 You know I love you but I'm
 D                A           
 Feeling afraid, you never say
 Em            G              D 
 One thing to keep me holding on
      A          
 You push me away
 
 
 CHORUS:
 Em         G             
 Why do you lie beside me?
           D             
 When you never have time
             A              
 And you're fine without me?
 
 
 Em                  G             
 And I, think it's pretty unlikely,
            D               
 That the words on your mind
        A             
 Could ever inspire me
     Em            C          G  D 
 To stay and love the way we are 
 Em            C          G     D 
 To stay and love the way we are
 
 
 VERSE 2:
 Em                   G   
 Every time you are lonely
               D      
 Why am I the only one
 A                  
 You come running to
 Em                     G       
 Got me saying that "I love you"
         D                    
 When I know that the truth is
             A                       
 You could trade me for something new
 
 
 Em            G                
 You keep me hanging like you're
 D             A               
 So unaware, you're never there
 Em          G                   D   
 you should know better but you don't
                 A  
 And it's never fair
 
 
 CHORUS:
 Em         G             
 Why do you lie beside me?
           D             
 When you never have time
             A              
 And you're fine without me?
 
 
 Em                  G             
 And I, think it's pretty unlikely,
            D               
 That the words on your mind
        A             
 Could ever inspire me
     Em            C          G  D 
 To stay and love the way we are 
 Em            C          G     D 
 To stay and love the way we are
 
 
 
 BRIDGE:
 G         D  
 Somebody wake
            C          
 Somebody shake me from
      D              G 
 The hold she has on me
          D   
 I'm so afraid
             C            
 I wanna be saved but what
         D              G 
 if she won't let go of me
 D              G         
 if she won't let go of me
 
 CHORUS:
 Em         G             
 Why do you lie beside me?
           D             
 When you never have time
             A              
 And you're fine without me?
 
 
 Em                  G             
 And I, think it's pretty unlikely,
            D               
 That the words on your mind
        A             
 Could ever inspire me
     Em            C          G  D 
 To stay and love the way we are 
 Em            C          G     D 
 To stay and love the way we are
 Em            C          G     D 
 To stay and love the way we are
