C               F      G        C 
Another morning    has come and gone 
C                   F  G   C 
Another first cup,     all alone 
C                          F      G         C 
Across the table, a lonely chair, no sleepy eyes 
C                  F 
That's the way one lives 
G             C 
When one love dies 
 
C                 F      Em G  
Find comfort in familiar places 
C              F          Em G 
Loneliness and strange embraces 
C                   F    G                   C 
But it's not making love,  it's just getting by 
C                F      Em  G 
No one fills the empty space 
C                    F      Em G 
They come and go without a trace. 
C                  F 
That's the way one lives 
G             C 
When one love dies 
 
Instrumental Interlude 
C-F-G-C  C-F-G-C 
 
C              F  G       C    
Live on habits,   live on dreams 
C             F      G       C 
Lonely nights   and old love scenes 
C                      F    G            C 
Keep on living, not to win,  but just survive  
C                  F 
That's the way one lives 
G             C 
When one love dies 
 
C                  F 
That's the way one lives 
G             C 
When one love dies
