[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___
[Instrumental]

G C Em C G D
[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_____
