Verse:
                 Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramG+G
Go ahead and sit on the floor
                         Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramG+G
When you can't outrun it anymore
     Chord diagramD MajorD
When nothing helps that did before
                                     Chord diagramG+G
Like a river that finally floods the shore

Verse:
                  Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G
Someday this will all be past
                   Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramG+G
And blow away like bones and ash
      Chord diagramD MajorD
But today is no different than the last
                            Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramD MajorD

That's the way these things go

            Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
But I'm not lost, I'm only wandering
         Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramG+G
I'm not adrift, I'm just at sea
        Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
I'm not sure, I'm only guessing
        Chord diagramD MajorD                          Chord diagramG+G
This is right where I need to be

Verse:
                  Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramG+G
In the distance I hear a train
                                Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
That keeps rolling on as though nothing's changed
          Chord diagramD MajorD
As if the world could ever be the same
                            Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramD MajorD
That's the way these things go
                            Chord diagramG+G
That's the way these things go

Chorus:
            Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
But I'm not lost, I'm only wandering
         Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramG+G
I'm not adrift, I'm just at sea
        Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG+G
I'm not sure, I'm only guessing
        Chord diagramD MajorD                          Chord diagramG+G
This is right where I need to be

Verse:
                     Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramG+G
I saw the sun set up over the ridge
                         Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramG+G
Shaped like a heart on a knife edge
        Chord diagramD MajorD
And I remembered the last thing you said
                             Chord diagramG+G    Chord diagramD MajorD
"That's the way these things go
                            Chord diagramG+G
That's the way these things go"

Yesterday three golden leaves
                  Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramG+G
Fluttered down in front of me
      Chord diagramD MajorD
For a moment I felt the whole world breathe
Chord diagramD MajorD
For a moment I felt the whole world ease

No matter what you see on the street

You don't know what people live down deep

That's the way these things go
