Mark Erelli - The Only Way


Intro:
C Em F G C

Verse 1:
      C
I read the paper
        Em
And I watch the news
         Am
It seems there's only pain and suffering
        Em
And there ain't nothing I can do
    F
It's so senseless
     G
I feel defenceless
  C   G
So small

Verse 2:
        C
I could shut my windows
       Em
I could bolt doors
     Am
But if I don't feel safe enough
      Em
To speak my mind anymore
        F
Then what's the use
           G
I've nothing left to lose
         C
And no further to fall


Chorus:
       G
So I'm gonna love
        Am
And I'm gonna believe
     G
I'm gonna dream
       Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
   Em                F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
      C    G       F
That's the only way I know how to live


Verse 3:
     C
It was a nightmare
       Em
No tongue can tell
  Am
The streets of New York city
      Em
Looked just like the gates of Hell
   F
In a flash
         G
The smoke and the ash
         C   G
Pouring down like rain


Verse 4:
         C
But they circled wagons
         Em
And they gathered round
    Am
As they bravely pulled our brothers
    Em
And our sisters from the ground
   F
And I know
         G
That we owe them more
      C
Than to be afraid


Chorus:
       G
So I'm gonna love
        Am
And I'm gonna believe
     G
I'm gonna dream
       Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
   Em                F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
      C    G       F
That's the only way I know how to live


Verse 5:
      C
So why seek vengeance?
       Em
What comes of war?
    Am
I know freedom has a price
    Em
But it doesn't keep score
         F
It's too much to swallow
       G
It's left me hollow
        C
After all this time
      G
All of this time


Verse 6:
      C
But I won't tell you
     Em
What to believe
      Am
But I'm too young to be so cynical
    Em
And too old to be naïve
   F
Every action
      G
Breeds a reaction
        C
So let this be mine


Chorus:
       G
So I'm gonna love
        Am
And I'm gonna believe
     G
I'm gonna dream
       Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
   Em                F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
      C    G       F
That's the only way I know how to live
