            D/F#  G
Bittersweet sea – sons

D/F#         Em                 C 
Mistake a warm winter for spring

               D/F#    G            D/F#       Em                C
Seems like I'm best at leaving when leaving is not the best thing

Pre – Chorus 1:

    G                              D/F#
You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give

       Em                      C
That's just the way it goes now

Verse 2:

           D/F#  G          D/F#    Em              C
I call you mis - placed but never a waste of my time

                  D/F#   G
Everybody's gonna make mistakes,

    D/F#         Em            C
But you'll never be one of mine

Pre – Chorus 2:

    G                              D/F#
You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give

       Em                      C
That's just the way it goes now

  G                             D/F#
I knew you felt me leaving long before I ever did

       Em                      C
That's just the way it goes now

Chorus 1:

         G      (bass line:B-C-D) D#dim
Loved me fearless when you needed to

          Em                     A/C#
You would not rest till you came through

   C             D         C
So God bless and thank you

Verse 3:

            D/F# G         D/F#         Em             C
There is no an - ger, it's just you and I and the truth

               D/F# G       D/F#      Em              C
You can try to make her but love will not be forced to bloom, to bloom

Pre – Chorus 3:

    G                              D/F#
You couldn't help it if you needed more than I could give

       Em                      C
That's just the way it goes now

    G                               D/F#
The only love worth fighting for is one that you can win and,

       Em                      C
That's just the way it goes now

Chorus 2:

          G     (bass line:B-C-D) D#dim
You would not break but you could bend

              Em                A/C#
And for love's sake you let love end,

    C                                D
But I still swear that you were God sent

        G                                D/F#
And you stood before me knowing that the wings I have you gave

           Em                      C
And that's just the way it goes now

      G                                      D/F#
And I barely have the breath to breathe much less to fly away

           Em                      C
And that's just the way it goes now

Chorus 3:

      G (bass line:B-C-D) D#dim      Em
And a silence entered the room for a one last,

           A/C#
"I'm gonna love you"

   C             D#dim      Em – A/C# - 
So God bless and thank you
