It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that way at all
 
[Chorus]
D          C          G                                C
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yes

Workin' in the strangest ways

I still love you just the same, I do
D                         Fmaj7
I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes
            G                     D
You're so beautiful, never change!
 
[Chorus]
D          C          G                                C
The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yes

Workin' in the strangest ways
 
[Bridge]
G           A               D                    G
What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah
G                   A
Sometimes it happens in the strangest ways
D                       G
Sometimes it's hard to believe (do you believe?)
                A
Do you believe, can you believe?
D             C
The way it is, that's the way that it goes
G                                 C
Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways

[Verse 3]
D                             Fmaj7
Now it really don't matter who, who gets the best of who
G                          D
It never did and it never will, no

the original post got changed..not sure how..but there should be d and dsus2 and 4 at the end of the verses listen closely as the chord changes are easy to hear in this song. there are a few pushes as well and I am glad you like it...

on the intro there is an open strum of the D,G, and B strings between chord changes. referred to as a G(type2),NICE TRANSCRIPTION, GREAT WORK!!!!
