With lyrics:
 
[Verse]
 
G                 D
The many miles we walked
Em                 C
The many things we learned
G                 D
The building of a shrine
Em           C
Only just to burn
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G               D
That's the way it is
Em              C
That's the way it is
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                      D
May the wind be at your back
Em                      C
Good fortune touch your hand
G                       D
May the cards lay out a straight
Em                C
All from your command
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G               D
That's the way it is
Em              C
That's the way it is
 
 
[Coda] (Repeats until fade out)
 
Em               C
Shine light into darkness
Em               C
Shine light into darkness
 
[Verse]
 
G                     D
Blue heron leaves the northern sky
Em                       C
It trusts the journey to new heights
G                         D
What's the meaning of the scar
Em                    C
If we don't learn how to heal?
G              D
Should we ever be apart?
Em               C
Then how does it feel?
 
[Chorus]
 
G               D
That's the way it is (So many miles to walk)
Em              C
That's the way it is (So many things we've got to learn)
G               D
That's the way it is (Ohhh ohhhh, that's the way it is)
Em              C
That's the way it is (Ohhh)
