VERSE:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Like river stone it may be that some edges get worn smooth
A augmentedA
Or maybe it’s just these days you don’t have as much to prove
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
So try to pick your battles ‘cause some fights just ain’t worth winning
A augmentedA D MajorD
When you reach the end of the beginning
VERSE:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Dwelling on the tears to being thankful for the smiles
A augmentedA
The journey of a single step can begin with a thousand miles
D MajorD
You ain’t sure where your going,
G+G D MajorD
But you’re making good time grinning
A augmentedA D MajorD
When you reach the end of the beginning
CHORUS:
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Oh, the journey you make
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
From the first breath you take
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
‘Til your last dying day
E minorEm A augmentedA
And the mystery takes your breath away
VERSE:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Ain’t much can’t get settled sitting down over a cold one
A augmentedA
You got no time to pick a grudge up, let alone to hold one
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
You’ve seen desperados genuflect and caught the sainted sinning
A augmentedA D MajorD
When you reach the end of the beginning
VERSE:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
You might regret mistakes you made but don’t mistake regrets
A augmentedA
For turning from those lucky stars you ain’t done thanking yet
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Or old friends you can count on even though their ranks are thinning
A augmentedA D MajorD
When you reach the end of the beginning
CHORUS:
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
Oh. the journey you make
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA
From the first breath you take
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
On your last dying day
E minorEm A augmentedA
And mystery takes your breath away
VERSE:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
You’ve got so much to tell them that you don’t know where to start
A augmentedA
And you can’t always find the words to say what’s in your heart
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
So you love them just as hard as you can hope this old world keeps spinning
A augmentedA D MajorD
When you reach the end of the beginning
VERSE/OUTRO:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Like river stone it may be that some edges get worn smooth
A augmentedA
Or maybe it’s just these days you don’t have as much to prove
D MajorD
So try to pick your battles
G+G D MajorD
‘Cause some fights are still worth winning
A augmentedA G+G D MajorD
When you reach the end of the beginning
