Verse 1:
Am7
For a little peace in any season
I'd give up anything but your love
Dm
I don't want to trade, trying to be happy
E7
That's only playing anyway
Am7
But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder
Dm
For every good thing, must you get bad
Am E7
But I won't worry, and if I'm living on borrowed time
Chorus:
F#m Am Em7
I'm gonna keep on
Am
the way I'm going
F#m Am Em7
Keep on
Am
the way I'm going
F#m Am Em7
Keep on
Am
the way I'm going
F#m Am Em7 Am
Verse 2:
Am7
For every crime, there's retribution
And every valley has a mountainside
Dm
No, I don't like to trade just to be happy
E7
That kind of deal won't turn out right
Am7
See it is no good to stare inside yourself too long
Dm
For every true thing there's one more lie
Am E7
But I won't worry cause if I'm living on borrowed time
Chorus:
F#m Am Em7
I'll just try to keep on
Am
the way I'm going
F#m Am Em7
Keep on
Am
the way I'm going
