THE WAY IT NEVER WAS (Kim Richey & Tom Littlefield)
---------------------------------------------------
[No capo.]
[Each chord is two beats (half of a 4/4 measure).]
[The D/F# chord actually goes from D to Dsus4; hammer-on from 2 to 3
 on the high E string.]
[Most of the E chords sound like they could be Esus4.  Or possibly E7.]

[intro]

G     D/F#       G     D/F#          G         D/F#    E         E
  Oh no, here you go again, you wanna take me back to way back when
     G        D/F#     G        D/F#   G      D/F#  E     E
Well, I gotta tell you, I gotta say,    I got over yesterday
  G     G    Bm     Bm   G      G            G           G
A long, long time ago, I cut it loose, maybe you should too, you know

D       A           G      D
  You remember the way it never was
D           A            G        A
  You've forgotten the things we didn't say
Bm       A             G      D
  If you miss me, the reason is because
Em      D/F#        G   G   Em     D/F#        G [stop]
  You remember the way,      you remember the way it never was

||:  G   D/F#   G   D/F#   G   D/F#   E   E  :||
    [instrumental, same as two intros]

Oh yeah, you were always right, we never argued, we didn't fight
It was hearts and flowers, true romance, so why not give it one more chance
Well, I've already been, why would I wanna go through that again

You remember the way it never was
You've forgotten the things we didn't say
If you miss me, the reason is because
You remember the way, you remember the way it never was

[four measures of instrumental]
[four more measures of instrumental]
It was a long, long time ago, I cut it loose, maybe you should too, you know

You remember the way it never was
You've forgotten the things we didn't say
If you miss me, the reason is because
You remember the way, you remember the way it never was

G  D/F#  G  D/F#  G  D/F#  G  D/F#  G  D/F#  G  D/F#  G  D/F#  Esus4.
