about

No Other Way was written in a fit of Lee Hazlewood-worship.

lyrics

No Other Way (E)
John Holk

V1:

E / D / A / E /
I gave you what you wanted and you were the only one
E / D / A / E /
I washed and dried the dishes and hung clothes out in the sun
E / D / A / E /
Why then does my mind keep telling me run boy run
E / D / A / A /
What's the point of living if you can't have any fun
E / E / E / E /

V2:
E / D / A / E /
Once I had a song in my heart that kept me straight
E / D / A / E /
The worst thing in this world is being told you have to wait
E / D / A / E /
A picture of your mother on the windowsill today
E / D / A /
Smiled at me and seemed to say that there's no other

Chorus:

B / B / A / E /
way - ee-ay - yay - ay
B / B / A / A /
She smiled and said that there's no other way-ay-ay-ay
E / E / E / E /

V3:
But even if I leave and act unfaithfully to you
I'll still be back tomorrow for the love I know is true
And even if you bring up all the things we said today
I'll look you in the eye and tell you there's no other way

Repeat Chorus x 2 (tell you true)
E / E / E / E /

solo over verse

V3:
Trying to recapture some of that feeling that we shared
It's getting so much harder and I'm feeling kinda scared
You break me down and Sell me short no matter what I say
& So much so I think you know that there's no other way

Repeat Chorus x 2 & 4 bars of E out
