It Just Has To Be This Way by Reba McEntire
Key: CC | Capo: 4fr |  Left-Handed 

Intro: C    Bm7  Em  Am G/B C D C

    G               C        Bm7           G
The sound of your voice, the touch of your skin
      D                           Em          D
If we go there, it will start all over again
   C                           Bm7                 Em
So don't even call, there's no need for checking in
            F                 G           D
If it's really over, let it just be over


Chorus:
       G
No, we won't be sharing coffee
          Em                      D
Or having lunch from time to time
        C
I won't ask about your family
             Bm7          Em   D
Please don't ask me about mine
        C
This is never what I wanted
         Bm7      Em        Am G/B
And it's killing me to say
        C      D  C
It just has to be this way


   G             C       Bm7                 G
We gave all we could, we fought the good fight
       D                            Em                    D
But no matter how we loved, we just couldn't get it right
   C                         Bm7              Em
It hurts to let go, but it's harder hanging on
                 F                           G     D
I don't want it to be over, we know that it's over


Chorus:
       G
No, we won't be sharing coffee
          Em                      D
Or having lunch from time to time
        C
I won't ask about your family
             Bm7          Em   D
Please don't ask me about mine
        C
This is never what I wanted
         Bm7      Em        Am G/B
And it's killing me to say
        C      D  C
It just has to be this way


Bridge:

And even if I change my mind
      Em
Don't let me hurt me one more time
Am                        F
Stay away from me, be as cold as you can be


Chorus:
       G
No, we won't be sharing coffee
          Em                      D
Or having lunch from time to time
        C
I won't ask about your family
             Bm7          Em   D
Please don't ask me about mine
        C
This is never what I wanted
         Bm7      Em        Am G/B
And it's killing me to say
        C      D  G
It just has to be this way
            C                D
Oh, it just has to be this way
