VERSE C He gets his information from overhearing conversations. G He doesn't ask questions, D doesn't learn many lessons. C And he keeps his mouth shut, till he boils over, and he blows up G And then he can't form his words right, D they don't fit together so tight Pre-Chorus Em F#m G Em F#m G And I hope to God that he will find his name G and not listen to his so called friends D when they so boldly say: Chorus Em D G C "This is the way, that you are," Don't let them say Em D G C "This is the way, that you are" VERSE She doesn't have much to say about yesterday or what happened to her, when she was eight So she drinks a lot, and it her makes feel okay For the moment, but it's gone when she wakes Pre-Chorus And I hope you know that someone out there loves you So don't give yourself away, and don't listen to them when they say: Chorus "This is the way, that you are," Don't let them say "This is the way, that you are" No! This is the way, that you are. Don't let them say This is the way, that you are. Don't let them say This is the way, This is the way, This is the way that you are. Don't let them say, This is the way, This is the way that you are.
