VERSE:
 D                  G        D
Like river stone it may be that some edges get worn smooth
                     A
Or maybe it’s just these days you don’t have as much to prove
  D                   G           D
So try to pick your battles ‘cause some fights just ain’t worth winning
          A      D
When you reach the end of the beginning


VERSE:
 D               G        D
Dwelling on the tears to being thankful for the smiles
                    A
The journey of a single step can begin with a thousand miles
   D
You ain’t sure where your going,
      G         D
But you’re making good time grinning
          A      D
When you reach the end of the beginning


CHORUS:
A    G      D
Oh, the journey you make
 A     G        A
From the first breath you take
 A     G     D
‘Til your last dying day
 Em                 A
And the mystery takes your breath away


VERSE:
 D                  G      D
Ain’t much can’t get settled sitting down over a cold one
                   A
You got no time to pick a grudge up, let alone to hold one
       D             G         D
You’ve seen desperados genuflect and caught the sainted sinning
          A      D
When you reach the end of the beginning


VERSE:
   D                 G        D
You might regret mistakes you made but don’t mistake regrets
                    A
For turning from those lucky stars you ain’t done thanking yet
  D                 G           D
Or old friends you can count on even though their ranks are thinning
          A      D
When you reach the end of the beginning


CHORUS:
A    G      D
Oh. the journey you make
 A    G        A
From the first breath you take
A    G     D
On your last dying day
Em               A
And mystery takes your breath away


VERSE:
    D                 G          D
You’ve got so much to tell them that you don’t know where to start
                    A
And you can’t always find the words to say what’s in your heart
    D                 G             D
So you love them just as hard as you can hope this old world keeps spinning
          A      D
When you reach the end of the beginning


VERSE/OUTRO:
   D                G        D
Like river stone it may be that some edges get worn smooth
                     A
Or maybe it’s just these days you don’t have as much to prove
  D
So try to pick your battles
       G           D
‘Cause some fights are still worth winning
          A      G   D
When you reach the end of the beginning
