Tom Russell - It goes away

^GA young boy scrapes his knee Or he ^Cfalls out of a tree^Em And his ^Cmamma hears his screams from far away^{G G}She runs to dry his eyes She says, "^CIt's okay to cry^Em 'Cause ^Ceverything that hurts will go awa^Gy"

It goes away, it might take ^Bmyears Or a ^Chundred thousand ^Emtears But one ^Cday the sky will clear It goes a^Gway_^D__

A ^Gboy just turned sixteen Oh, he's ^Cbashful, lives in ^Emdreams And his ^Cheart breaks when the girls go by his ^Gway ^GHe's choking deep inside It's from ^Cswallowing false ^Empride 'Til he rememb^Cers that old prayer, "It goes a^Gway"

It goes away, it might take ^Bmyears Or a ^Chundred thousand ^Emtears But one ^Cday the sky will clear It goes a^Gway_^D__

The ^Golder that we grow All the ^Cless we seem to ^Emknow But we ^Cstill recite the old prayers every ^Gday ^GHow we hope the bomb won't drop Yeah, and ^Call the wars will ^Emstop And when our hearts ^Cbreak, that the pain will go a^Gway

It goes away, it might take ^Bmyears Or a ^Chundred thousand ^Emtears But one ^Cday the sky will clear It goes a^Gway_^D__

It goes a^Gway, it might take ^Bmyears Or a ^Chundred thousand ^Emtears But one ^Cday the sky will clear It goes a^Gway^D___^G__
