D                          G                        D
  If it seems i'm far away, don't think it's cuz of you
   
  D                           G                       D
  My mind may seem to wander, you know thats nothin new

    Bm              Em          G                     D
  I sometimes go inside myself, to see whats in this man

    D               A                      G              D
  But I need you to know one thing, that's just the way I am  

 Chorus

   Bm            Em    G            D
  Just a simple soul, ridin in the wind
  Bm             Em        G                 D
  Mesmerized by memories, captured way back then
  Bm             Em       G                  D
  Just a simple soul, you need to know this man
   D              A                    G              D
  Never think my love is gone, that's just the way I am


 Time is just a measurement, a keeper of the past

 I close my eyes and drift away, life is gone too fast

 My inner soul is searching, for everything it can

  but I need you to know one thing, thats just the way I am

   Bm                Em             G                 D
  I sometimes go inside myself, to see whats in this man

   D                 A                     G             D
  But I need you to know one thing, thats just the way I am


  When I see myself today I often wonder why

  About emotions wasted, then begin to cry

  Another night of sorrow, time has the upper hand

  But I need you to know one thing, thats just the way I am

  Chorus

  Thats just the way I am, Thats just the way I am, 

  Thats just.....the way I a-----m
