[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][G][A][D]
[G][A][D][Bm][Em]
[A]

[Verse 1]
[G]Fell for this [A]dream girl in Danville
[D]Jus[G]t in the Central Tim[A]e zon[D]e
[G]I used to kill [A]hours [D]to meet her on time
[Bm]And then lost [Em]one as well
drivin' [A]home

[Verse 2]
[G]Mexican [A]boy on Doheny
[D]SeI[G]lin' a map to sta[A]rs'[D] homes
[G]Maybe he's home[A]less
And may[D]be they're gone
[Bm]And the aftern[Em]oon traffic rolls on[A]

[Verse 3]
[G]Driving a Jag[A]uars [D]impressive
[G]But you can't watch [A]it
go [D]by
And the Man[G]hattan sky[A]line
is [D]a sight [Bm]to behold
But prob'ly [Em]be st through

[Verse 4]
New Jersey- based eyes
[A]It is [G]what it is and[A] that's all[D]
[Em]What are you going [A]to do?
[F#m]Will some fool look up on a
[G]clear day and say,
"That [Em]the sky's not a true enough [A]blue?"

[Verse 5]
It [G]never much rain[A]s,
but it's pour[D]ing
[G]Everything hap[A]pens at [D]once
[G]Flat tires and [A]light bulbs while
[D]picture frames fall
[Bm]From the wall [Em]where
they've hung fine for [A]months

[Verse 6]
It [G]is what it [A]is and that's [D]all
[Em]Lay down a mat by the [A]door
[F#m]Will some fool rush in from
[G]a cloud burst and say,
"Hell, I'm [Em]soaked and I'm
totally [A]bored?"

[Verse 7]
[F#]Out there by the interstate the
du[Bm]plex I call home
Ain't quite [F#]the quietest place on
earth to catch your [Bm]breath
Non- [C]stop highway sound makes
backyard [Em]picnics out to lunch
Fact is my [C]next- door neighbor's
fine [A]completely deaf

[Verse 8]
[G]Maybe you wish [A]you had [D]money
[G]Then you might think [A]you could [D]live
[G]Life is so bri[A]ef you may
[D]think time [Bm]a thief
Better [Em]live for whatever [A]it gives

[Verse 9]
Pon[G]dering [A]the future, you [D]worry
[G]Listen, somehow [A]you'll get [D]through
[G]Then you'll [A]look backwards [D]and long
for the thing[Bm]s
That you'll find [Em]it's then too late to [A]do

[Verse 10]
[G]It is what it is [A]and that's [D]all
[Em]When are you going [A]to see?
[F#m]Friends tell you true and your
[G]granddad did, too
But you won't [Em]take advice
that comes [A]free

[Verse 11]
[A]Get what you want you don't want [D]it
[G]Not even glad [A]while you [D]eat
[G]Wait for your [A]flight,
while the [D]heavyweights [Bm]fight
And [Em]the planes try to land in [A]the sleet

[Verse 12]
It [G]is what it is [A]and that's [D]all
And [Em]birds can't row boats,
baby [A]blue
[F#m]Will some fool sit stuck on
the [G]runway and say,
"Hell, it's [Em]only me this happens [A]to?"

[Verse 13]
It [G]is what it is [A]and that's [D]all
It [G]is what it [A]is and that's [D]all
