That's The Way It's Always Been
Written and recorded by Roger Miller

C                           G7
Leave the door open and the fly comes in
                            C
Leave the door open and the fly comes in
                            F
Leave the door open and the fly comes in
C                                 F
That's the way it is and how it's always been
C          G7              C
That's the way it's always been

                                   G7
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
                                   C
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
                                   F
Fall yourself in love and get your teeth kicked in
C                                 F
That's the way it is and how it's always been
C          G7              C
That's the way it's always been

         F                    C
A little lesson or two in the art of livin'
      G7                 C           A#7
May I be forgiven if I'm guidin' you wrong
F                    C
Sing for your supper remember on the other end

Of the spoon the guy's working for song

                                      G7
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
                                      C
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
                                      F
You'll get your heart broken throwing caution to the wind
C                                 F
That's the way it is and how it's always been
C          G7              C
That's the way it's always been
