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