[Verse 1]
EC#m
This day is getting older,
G#A
in fading light it's beautiful.
EC#m
This wind is blowing colder,
G#A
and too soon I'll feel it's pull.
E
Still, I took all my chances,
C#m
earned myself an even score.
G#A
Try to learn my lessons well.
E
And I don't have the answers,
C#m
for those questions anymore.
G#A
Only love can be both heaven and hell.
[Chorus]
EC#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
G#A
for the road is long ahead.
EC#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
G#A
but your road is yours to tread.
EC#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
G#A
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
EC#mG#A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
EC#m
I've grown old on this ocean,
G#A
gave her all, my stronger years.
EC#m
Gave my wife my devotion,
G#A
when she died, the ocean my tears.
E
I've tried to teach you well son,
C#m
all of everything I knew.
G#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,
G#A
if you start then see it through.
[Chorus]
EC#m
So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart,
G#A
for the road is long ahead.
EC#m
I'll be with you even though we're apart,
G#A
but your road is yours to tread.
EC#m
And so it goes, and so it goes,
G#A
and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind,
EC#mG#A
And so it goes... and so it goes, and so it goes, slows your mind, mind, mind.
