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
