The Way that you are Lyrics

INTRO: G
It was too good to be true
How could I think it would be good at all
Still you stand tall
You had a story to tell
You said it had a happy ending
But not one for me
You strung me along
Said there's nobody else
CHORUS:
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
You have been for so long
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
To help me reach the shore
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
The first time you took my hand
And you wooed me with the language of love
And of life
The second time, still I believed
Your kids just told me that I was no fool
That you were not cruel
Then you broke my heart with ease
Saying, "I'm not a bad man"
CHORUS:
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
You have been for so long
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
To help me reach the shore
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
BRIDGE:
When the lies and the cheating and the blaming is on
When the work day is ended and the ( ? ? ) is gone
Will you lie in your bed and no life remains?
Do you know your deception, do you feel any pain_____?
CHORUS:
C ~ ~ ~ G C
Why would you want to be the way that you are, my darling?
And I marvel at the face
Of this life of disgrace
You have been for so long
It took the tidal waves
Of five hundred hurricanes
To help me reach the shore
Tell me, why would you want to be the way that you are?
D G C ~ ~ G
Oh, why would you want to be the way that you are?
