by Eric Clapton and Peter Robertson

Chorus 1
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.

Chorus 2
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don´t you ever abuse it,
Don´t let it go.

Verse 1
Nobody´s right till somebody´s wrong.
Nobody´s weak till somebody´s strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody´s lonely till somebody´s gone.

Verse 2
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 3
It´s in the way that you use it
Boy don´t you know
So don´t you abuse it
Man don´t let it go
