This day is getting older,
 Ab                     A
In fading light it's beautiful.
E                        C#m
This wind is blowing colder,
 Ab                         A
And too soon I'll feel its pull.

E
Still, I took all my chances,
 C#m
Earned myself an even score.
 Ab                      A
Try to learn my lessons well.
E
And I don't have the answers,
       C#m
For those questions anymore.
   Ab                              A
Only love can be both heaven and hell.

E                           C#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
      Ab               A
For the road is long ahead.
     E                              C#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
        Ab                  A
But your road is yours to tread.
   E                      C#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
       Ab                       A
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
     E          C#m                    Ab                 A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,

Mind, mind.

E                     C#m
I've grown old on this ocean,
Ab                      A
Gave her all, my stronger years.
E                  C#m
Gave my wife my devotion,
Ab                          A
When she died, the ocean my tears.

E
I've tried to teach you well son,
C#m
All of everything I knew.
Ab                         A
Of how to live this life be true.
E
Don't bow your head to no one,
C#m
And no matter what you do,
Ab                         A
If you start then see it through.

E                          C#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
Ab                     A
For the road is long ahead.

But your road is yours to tread.
E                       C#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
Ab                             A
And so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
E                     C#m                Ab
A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.
