Verse
C Am
He put on his shirt carefully, making sure that the buttons matched up
F
His sleeves were always too short
C G
But at least it meant he could always see his watch
C
And often he checked the time
Am
And it would be stopped
F
He always thought it was broken
C G
But then he'd remember he had to wind it, oh
C Am
Though he knew some day he'd remember to wind it and it wouldn't work after all
F C G
Maybe that would happen on the exact day he didn't think it was broken
[Chorus]
C
Isn't that the way it works
Am
Isn't that the way it goes
F
While the fox he lurks
C
And while the rooster crows
G C
Isn't that the way things are
Am
The way the world ain't flat
F C G C
But you can only run so far before you make it back
[Verse 2]
C Am
He could drink from the sink by craning his head far to one side
F C
The day he figured that out, one of the horses died
G C
It was one of the twins that barely a week'd been alive
Am
It was the one who could barely stand
F C G
We'd wrapped his legs with gauze and bandages from inside from one of the kitchen drawers
Am
We called him stretch
F
Cuz he was so skinny and tall
C
Momma said both twins rarely live with horses
G
We was lucky to have one livin at all
C Am
And me and my momma slept in the stall next to them in the bed of a pickup
F C G
All us kids piled in
C
I remember the momma horse lickin and cleaning up her newborn babies
Am
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
F C
She was working so hard (she was working so hard)
G Am
She was working so hard
F
She was working so hard
C
She was working so hard
G
She was working so hard
[Chorus]
C
Isn't that the way it works
Am
Isn't that the way it goes
F
While the fox he lurks
C
And while the rooster crows
G C
Isn't that the way things are
Am
The way the world ain't flat
F C G
But you can only run so far before you make it back
Am
Isn't that the way it works
F
Isn't that the way it goes
C
While the fox he lurks
G
And while the rooster crows
Am
Isn't that the way things are
F
The way the world ain't flat
C G
You can only run so far before you make it back
Am
You can only run so far
F
You can only run so far
C G C F C G C
Before you make it, before you make it back
