The Only Way by Mark Erelli
The Only Way
CAPO: 4th fret
[Intro]
C Em F G C
[Verse 1]
C
I read the paper
Em
And I watch the news
Am
It seems there's only pain and suffering
Em
And there ain't nothing I can do
F
It's so senseless
G
I feel defenceless
C G
So small
[Verse 2]
C
I could shut my windows
Em
I could bolt doors
Am
But if I don't feel safe enough
Em
To speak my mind anymore
F
Then what's the use
G
I've nothing left to lose
C
And no further to fall
[Chorus]
G
So I'm gonna love
Am
And I'm gonna believe
G
I'm gonna dream
Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
Em F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
C G F
That's the only way I know how to live
[Verse 3]
C
It was a nightmare
Em
No tongue can tell
Am
The streets of New York city
Em
Looked just like the gates of Hell
F
In a flash
G
The smoke and the ash
C G
Pouring down like rain
[Verse 4]
C
But they circled wagons
Em
And they gathered round
Am
As they bravely pulled our brothers
Em
And our sisters from the ground
F
And I know
G
That we owe them more
C
Than to be afraid
[Chorus]
G
So I'm gonna love
Am
And I'm gonna believe
G
I'm gonna dream
Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
Em F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
C G F
That's the only way I know how to live
[Verse 5]
C
So why seek vengeance?
Em
What comes of war?
Am
I know freedom has a price
Em
But it doesn't keep score
F
It's too much to swallow
G
It's left me hollow
C
After all this time
G
All of this time
[Verse 6]
C
But I won't tell you
Em
What to believe
Am
But I'm too young to be so cynical
Em
And too old to be naïve
F
Every action
G
Breeds a reaction
C
So let this be mine
[Chorus]
G
So I'm gonna love
Am
And I'm gonna believe
G
I'm gonna dream
Am
But I'm gonna roll up my sleeves
Em F
Give everything until there's nothing left to give
C G F
That's the only way I know how to live
[Outro]
