It Doesn't Have To Be That Way by Jim Croce
It Doesn't Have To Be That Way
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C
Snowy nights and Christmas lights,
F Em Dm7 G7
Icy window panes,
C Cmaj7 C6 C D7
Make me wish that we could be
D7 G7
Together again
C Cmaj7 C6 C
And the windy winter avenues
F Em Dm7
Just don't seem the same,
G7 C Cmaj7 C6 C
And the Christmas carols sound like blues,
F G7 C
But the choir is not to blame
[Chorus]
G7 C F Em
But it doesn't have to be that way
F Em F Em F Em C
What we had should never have ended
F Em
I'll be dropping by today
F Em F Em F Dm C D7
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
G7 C G7
It's only right
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C6 C
Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,
F Em G7
Tinseled afternoons,
C Cmaj7 C6 C D7
And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
G7
Slightly out of tune
C Cmaj7 C6 C
On the windy winter avenues
F Em Dm7 G7
There walks a lonely man,
C Cmaj7 C6 C
And if I told you who he is,
F G7 C
Well I think you'd understand
(Chorus x2)

… Snowy nights and Christmas lights
Icy window panes
Make me wish that we could be
Together again
And the windy winter avenues
Just don't seem the same
And the Christmas carols sound like blues
But the choir is not to blame
… But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should have never have ended
I'll be dropping by today
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
… Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus
Tinseled afternoons
And the sidewalk bands that play their songs
Slightly out of tune
On the windy winter avenues
There walks a lonely man
And if I told you who he is
Well, I think you'd understand
… But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should have never have ended
I'll be dropping by today
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
… But it doesn't have to be that way
What we had should have never have ended
I'll be dropping by today
'Cause we could easily get it together tonight
It's only right
