[Verse]
G
A young boy scrapes his knee
      C                  Em
Or he falls out of a tree
        C                                    G
And his mamma hears his screams from far away
G
She runs to dry his eyes
           C               Em
She says, "It's okay to cry
       C                                G
'Cause everything that hurts will go away"

[Chorus]
                            Bm
It goes away, it might take years
     C                Em
Or a hundred thousand tears
        C
But one day the sky will clear
         G   D
It goes away___

[Verse]
  G
A boy just turned sixteen
         C                 Em
Oh, he's bashful, lives in dreams
        C                                     G
And his heart breaks when the girls go by his way
G
He's choking deep inside
          C                Em
It's from swallowing false pride
              C                              G
'Til he remembers that old prayer, "It goes away"

[Chorus]
                            Bm
It goes away, it might take years
     C                Em
Or a hundred thousand tears
        C
But one day the sky will clear
         G   D
It goes away___

[Verse]
    G
The older that we grow
        C               Em
All the less we seem to know
       C                                  G
But we still recite the old prayers every day
G
How we hope the bomb won't drop
          C                 Em
Yeah, and all the wars will stop
                    C                             G
And when our hearts break, that the pain will go away

[Chorus]
                            Bm
It goes away, it might take years
     C                Em
Or a hundred thousand tears
        C
But one day the sky will clear
         G   D
It goes away___

[Chorus]
         G                  Bm
It goes away, it might take years
     C                Em
Or a hundred thousand tears
        C
But one day the sky will clear
         G  D  G
It goes away_____
