Introduction:

very easy |||||
                   C                                                       G 
He was a very special warm and gentle person
                         C                                                             G             D 
Who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
               Em                                                       Bm 
And it hurts me that I never really knew him
               C                                                               G 
'Cause all it would have taken was some time
                         C                                                               G 
You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled
                   C                                                                 G             D 
And when mountains got too steep for me to climb
               Em                                                       Bm 
And it tears me up to think I never touched him
               C                                                               G 
'Cause all it would have taken was some time
 Em 
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
 Bm 
Down, down, down, down
 C                                                           G 
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
 Em 
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
                 Bm 
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
       C                                                           G 
But not gettin' into someone I should know
                       C                                                   G 
Now he's in another place and I can't reach him
             C                                                           G             D 
And I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
 Em                                                                       Bm 
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
         C                                                               G 
And all it would have taken was some time
 Em 
Well, ain't that just the way that life goes
 Bm 
Down, down, down, down
 C                                                           G 
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
 Em 
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
                 Bm 
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
       C                                                           G 
But not gettin' into someone I should know
 Em 
Dettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
                 Bm 
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
 Em 
Ain't that just the way that life goes
 Bm 
Down, down, down, down
 C                                                           G 
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
 Em 
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
                 Bm 
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
       C                                                         G 
But not gettin' into someone I should know

Ain't that just the way that life goes
 Bm 
Down, down, down, down
