It's in the way that you use it
E/G# A6 C#m B
Boy don't you know

Chorus:
It's in the way that you use it
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
It's in the way that you use it
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
And if you lie you will lose it
Feelings will show
So don't you ever abuse it
Don't let it go
I've seen dark skies, never like this
Walked on some thin ice, never like this
I've told you white lies, never like this
Looked into true eyes, never like this
Chorus:
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
