The Way It Goes

C   F   C   F   C   Am7   G   C   F   C   F   C   C

[Verse 1]

C                      F             C
Well one  man's home is another  man's journey,
F           C            G
Stars shine late and the sun shines early,
Am      F            C
One man straight and another  man's curly,
                            G
It's just the way it goes,

C                  F             C
One  man's trash is another  man's treasure,
F         C             G
Rummaging around in the rain and the weather,
Am        F       C
One  man's pain is another  man's pleasure,
                G             C
That's just the way it goes

[Chorus]

       Am         G         F      C
And we never know no matter how we try,
          Am          G           F           C
Why we're born and we grow and we live and we die,
    Am       G        F            C
For one man's truth is another man's lie,
              Am          G          F            C
It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why

[Verse 2]

C                   F             C
One  man's cure is another  man's poison,
F          C             G
Snow falls white and the leaves fall golden,
Am        F         C
One man bought em' another man sold them,
                G             C
That's just the way it goes,

C                    F             C
And one  man's few is another  man's plenty,
F      C              G
One complains and the other say's thanksy,
Am        F      C
One  man's few is another  man's empty,
                G             C
That's just the way it goes

[Chorus]

       Am         G         F      C
And we never know no matter how we try,
          Am          G           F           C
Why we're born and we grow and we live and we die,
    Am       G        F            C
For one man's truth is another man's lie,
              Am          G          F            C
It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why

[Chorus]

       Am         G         F      C
And we never know no matter how we try,
          Am          G           F           C
Why we're born and we grow and we live and we die,
    Am        G        F             C
For one  man's truth is another  man's lie,
              Am          G          F            C
It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why

 Am         G         F      C
And we never know no matter how we try,
          Am          G           F           C
Why we're born and we grow and we live and we die,
    Am         G         F            C
For one  man's start is another's goodbye
              Am          G          F            C
It's just the way that it goes and I couldn't say why
