How Its Gonna Be
View chords used in this chart
Capo 1
Em B Em Am Em B Em
I'm gonna write and turn the page,
Just like you said to me one day.
I'm gonna make it a show to remember me by.
I don't feel no shame at all,
I think I might stand up tall
And tell the whole world what it feels like to have
The upper hand today.
Id like to say my goodbyes
To all my problems and my lies.
I realize so much more and I see your watching me now.
C D G (repeat throughout Chorus)
Somebody turned my lights on for me.
Then turned them back off and walked out the door.
Well This show. It isn't about me.
Tonight its about you.
You're downing all of your shots,
No longer tearin me apart.
You're making moves in my home,
I notice when you start to roam.
I'm gonna sell it to you.
For no longer a price.
Ill take a chance tonight.
The ice will freeze in the morning.
And Id rather see you again.
Than to be held back just to glance.
And Id rather take control,
and watch you take away the next dance.
And tonight thats just how its gonna be.
And tonight thats just how itss gonna be.
And tonight thats just how
Its gonna be.
