Doesn’t Have to Be That Way Lyrics by Liam Gallagher

As You Were (Deluxe Edition)

2017

[Chorus]
It doesn't have to be that way
It doesn't have to be that way
Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn't have to be that way
[Verse 1]
I am a dark star, I feel a race car
I feel the rain on my flesh
The halls have darkened, the dogs are barking
But they ain't bitten me yet
You give up when the game begins
Looking like something that the cat dragged in
I shout but you can't hear me
[Chorus]
It doesn't have to be that way
It doesn't have to be that way
Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn't have to be that way
[Verse 2]
You wake up and your heart is broken
Its all broken again
You feel roped in, the jailers smoking
But there's a hole in the fence
I don't know how you stand the pain
Hoping on things that will never change
I shout but you don't hear me
[Chorus]
It doesn't have to be that way
It doesn't have to be that way
Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn't have to be that way
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
It doesn't have to be that way
It doesn't have to be that way
Girl you're chasing rainbows but you cry when its not there
It doesn't have to be that way
