As recorded by Noah Cyrus feat. Ella Langley (2025 release) [Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                            C            G
The first thing you learn is grieving and loss

       C           G
'Cause you can't return to the safe place you lost

            Am7                                             G
From your mother's womb into the chaos of the cold hospital room

C             G                 C          G
When you're a child, they say, "Follow the rules,"

         C           G
And they send you to church and they drop you at school

         Am7                                                G
And your little heart breaks as you're watching them both drive away
[Chorus]
      C            G/B         Am7
And I cried on the side of the curb

          C         G/B        Am7
Yeah, the panic set in, and it hurt

        C               Em          Am7
Oh, but that's just the way that it works

               G
The way of the world
[Verse 2]
   C              G           C              G
As you're growing up, you get faced with the truth

          C           G
That your parents are people and messed up like you

        Am7                                      G
And the child inside them is broken and still hurten too

    G          G             C             G
You get to the end when your time's almost done

          C          G
With your skin paper-thin and your bones giving up

         Am7                                           G
From the very beginning, you've been going against the wind
[Out-Chorus]
         C         G/B         Am7
And your body goes back to the earth

         C           G/B      Am7
And your soul to the whole universe

       C               Em7         Am7
God, I hope that's the way that it works

               G
The way of the world

         C          G/B       Am7
From the very first moment it hurts

         C               G/B         Am7
'Til the day that you're laid in the dirt

          C               Em          Am7
Yeah, but that's just the way that it works

               G
The way of the world

               C    G/B Am7
The way of the world, ooh

         C               G/B         Am7
'Til the day that you're laid in the dirt

          C               Em          Am7
Yeah, but that's just the way that it works

               G
The way of the world (Mm-mm, mm-mm)
