This day is getting older 
 Ab                     A 
In fading light it's beautiful 
E                        C#m 
This wind is blowing colder 
 Ab                         A 
And too soon I'll feel its pull 

E 
Still I took all my chances 
 C#m 
Earned myself an even score 
 Ab                      A 
Try to learn my lessons well 
E 
And I don't have the answers 
       C#m 
For those questions anymore 
   Ab                              A 
Only love can be both heaven and hell 

E                           C#m 
So sturdy up sturdy up your heart 
      Ab               A 
For the road is long ahead 
     E                              C#m 
I'll be with you even though we're apart 
        Ab                  A 
But your road is yours to tread 
   E                      C#m 
And so it goes and so it goes 
       Ab                       A 
And so it goes slows your mind mind mind 
     E          C#m                    Ab                 A 
And so it goes and so it goes and so it goes slows your mind mind mind 

Mind mind

I've grown old on this ocean 
Ab                      A 
Gave her all my stronger years 
E                  C#m 
Gave my wife my devotion 
Ab                          A 
When she died the ocean my tears 

E

C#m 
All of everything I knew 
Ab                         A 
Of how to live this life be true
