TITLE: Doesn't Have To Be That Way
ARTIST: WILL HOGE
ALBUM: BLACKBIRD ON A LONELY WIRE
There's a [Bm7]storm brewing out on the [A]open sea[Bm7][A]
[Bm7]Sweeping its way here to [A]you and me[Bm7][A]
But all the [Bm]lights are out and the streets are [A]dark
And there's a [Bm]soul without a fire trying to [A]find a spark
And this [Bm]heartbreak season it's [A]leaving its mark on [E]me
cHORUS
But it doesn't have to be that [B]way[D][E]
It's not the way that it has to [B]be[D][E]
It's coming over the walls and I'm [B]drowning in it [D]can't you se[E]e
It's not the way that it has to b[B]e[E]
Doesn't have to be that [B]way[A]
VERSE 2
Black night sitting heavy all around
I got a mind full of heartaches and hand me downs
I got a freight train screaming inside my head
That says you can't find love in a stranger's bed
And my mouth is full of all the words that I wish I had said
[D]It's s[A]o much [G]harder now
[D]That the blues [A]skies have gone [G]away
[D]I wi[A]sh I [G]had just one more [F#M]day[Em][Dm][A]
Whiskey like water flowing down a drain
And I'm wasted as a candle in a hurricane
But you can't stop something that's this far gone
Goodbyes are easier than I was wrongs
And suicide ain't a matter of degree
