Carrie Newcomer - Thats the way these things go

Go ahead and sit ^Con the floor ^G When you can't outrun it ^Canymore ^G When ^Dnothing helps that did before Like a river that finally floods the ^Gshore

Someday this will ^Call be past ^G And blow away like ^Cbones and a^Gsh But to^Dday is no different than the last That's the way these things ^Ggo ^D That's the way these things ^Ggo

But I'm not ^Clost, I'm only ^Gwandering I'm not a^Ddrift, I'm just at ^Gsea I'm not ^Csure, I'm only ^Gguessing This is ^Dright where I need to be ^G

In the distance I ^Chear a tra^Gin That keeps rolling on as though ^Cnothing's chang^Ged As if the ^Dworld could ever be the same That's the way these things ^Ggo ^D That's the way these things ^Ggo

But I'm not ^Clost, I'm only ^Gwandering I'm not a^Ddrift, I'm just at ^Gsea I'm not ^Csure, I'm only ^Gguessing This is ^Dright where I need to be ^G

I saw the sun set up ^Cover the ri^Gdge Shaped like a heart on a ^Cknife ed^Gge And I re^Dmembered the last thing you said "That's the way these things ^Ggo ^D That's the way these things ^Ggo"

Yesterday three go^Clden leaves ^G Fluttered down in ^Cfront of me ^G For a ^Dmoment I felt the whole world breathe ^DFor a moment I felt the whole world ease

So be ^Gkind to everyone ^Cthat you meet ^G No matter what you see o^Cn the street ^G You don't ^Dknow what people live down deep That's the way these things ^Ggo ^D That's the way these things ^Ggo ^D That's the way these things ^Cgo ^{G Am7 G}
