[Intro]

C G Am7 G

[Verse]

C G
Go ahead and sit on the floor

C G
When you can't outrun it anymore

D
When nothing helps that did before

G
Like a river that finally floods the shore

[Verse]

C G
Someday this will all be past

C G
And blow away like bones and ash

D
But today is no different than the last

G D
That's the way these things go

G
That's the way these things go

[Chorus]

C G
But I'm not lost, I'm only wandering

D G
I'm not adrift, I'm just at sea

C G
I'm not sure, I'm only guessing

D G
This is right where I need to be

[Verse]

C G
In the distance I hear a train

C G
That keeps rolling on as though nothing's changed

D
As if the world could ever be the same

G D
That's the way these things go

G
That's the way these things go

[Chorus]

C G
But I'm not lost, I'm only wandering

D G
I'm not adrift, I'm just at sea

C G
I'm not sure, I'm only guessing

D G
This is right where I need to be

[Verse]

C G
I saw the sun set up over the ridge

C G
Shaped like a heart on a knife edge

D
And I remembered the last thing you said

G D
"That's the way these things go
