Dan Fogelberg - The Way It Must Be
INTRO: F Bb F
Baby, how could I have been so vain
Bb
To make you feel like you're the only one to blame
F
For all these distances and none of this pain
Baby, how could I have been so blind
Bb
To presuppose that your needs were just like mine
F
You've been a prisoner for a long, long time
CHORUS:
C Bb
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
F
If that's the way it must be
I tried so hard to make you part of me
Bb
That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see
F
Someone that you could never, ever be
So full of pride, I could not see straight
Bb
I thought you'd change, if'n I could only wait
F
I see the truth now, but it's much too late
CHORUS:
C Bb
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
F
If that's the way it must be
BRIDGE:
Dm Bb F
Oh oh oh oh oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean
Dm Bb C F Bb F
Oh oh oh oh oh, is there nothing left but silence in between
Dm Bb F
Oh oh oh oh oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean
Dm Bb C F
Oh oh oh oh oh, is there nothing left but silence in between
Baby, how'd we hold on so long
Bb
To something both of us must have known was wrong
F
We're either fools, or must be terribly strong
CHORUS:
C Bb
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
F
If that's the way it must be
C Bb
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
F
If that's the way it must be
C Bb
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free
F
If that's the way it must be
