E

[Chorus]
                             A
It's not supposed to be that way
                            E
You're supposed to know I love you
                      B7
But it don't matter anyway
                          E
If I can't be there to control you.

[Verse]
                              A
And like the other little children
                               E
You're gonna dream a dream or two
                               B7
But be careful what you're dreamin'
                                 E
Soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you.


[Chorus]
                             A
It's not supposed to be that way
                            E
You're supposed to know I love you
                      B7
But it don't matter anyway
                          E
If I can't be there to console you.

[Verse]
                                A
When you go out to play this evenin'
                                 E
Play with fireflies till they're gone
                                B7
Then you'll rush to meet your lover
                             E
Play with real fire til the dawn.

[Chorus]
                             A
It's not supposed to be that way
                            E
You're supposed to know I love you
                      B7
But it don't matter anyway
                          E
If I can't be there to console you.
