Doesn't Have To Be That Way

It doesn't have to be that way

It doesn't have to be that way
Bm            D      E       A       E            D
Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
   Bm       D      E       A   E
It doesn't have to be that way

E
I am a top star
G
I feel a racecar
D
I feel the rain on my flesh
E
The holes have darkened
G
The dogs are barking
D
But they ain't bitten me yet
E                    G
You give up when the game begins
D                               A
Looking like something that the cat dragged in
  Am
I shout but you can't hear me

It doesn't have to be that way

E               G
You wake up and your heart is broken
D
Its all broken again
E
You feel roped in
G
The trailers smoking
D
But there's a hole in the fence
E                    G
I don't know how you stand the pain
D                          A
Hoping on things that will never change
  Am
I shout but you don't hear me
