The Way It Must Be(Chords)

	        Dan Fogelberg - The Way It Must Be 
  
  
Intro: F  Bb  F 
  
  
Baby, how could I have been so vain  
                                             Bb 
To make you feel like you're the only one to blame  
                            F 
For all these distances and none of this pain  
  
  
  
Baby, how could I have been so blind  
                                             Bb 
To presuppose that your needs were just like mine  
                             F 
You've been a prisoner for a long, long time  
  
  
Chorus: 
               C                      Bb 
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free 
              F 
If that's the way it must be  
  
  
  
I tried so hard to make you part of me  
                                              Bb 
That every time I looked at you I thought I'd see  
                              F 
Someone that you could never, ever be  
  
  
  
So full of pride, I could not see straight  
                                          Bb 
I thought you'd change, if'n I could only wait  
                              F 
I see the truth now, but it's much too late  
  
  
Chorus: 
               C                      Bb 
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free 
              F 
If that's the way it must be  
  
  
Bridge: 
         Dm                          Bb       F 
Oh oh oh oh oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean  
         Dm                               Bb           C           F  Bb  F 
Oh oh oh oh oh, is there nothing left but silence in between  
         Dm                          Bb       F 
Oh oh oh oh oh, how'd it ever get so cold and mean  
         Dm                               Bb           C       F 
Oh oh oh oh oh, is there nothing left but silence in between  
  
  
  
Baby, how'd we hold on so long  
                                            Bb 
To something both of us must have known was wrong  
                               F 
We're either fools, or must be terribly strong  
  
  
Chorus: 
               C                      Bb 
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free 
              F 
If that's the way it must be  
               C                      Bb 
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free 
              F 
If that's the way it must be  
               C                      Bb 
'Cause now you run from me and I will set you free 
              F 
If that's the way it must be
