Artist: Tom Russell
[INTRO]
[G]
[VERSE]
[G]A young boy scrapes his knee
Or he [C]falls out of a tree[Em]
And his [C]mamma hears his screams from far away[G]
[G]She runs to dry his eyes
She says, "[C]It's okay to cry[Em]
'Cause [C]everything that hurts will go awa[G]y"
[CHORUS]
It goes away, it might take [Bm]years
Or a [C]hundred thousand [Em]tears
But one [C]day the sky will clear
It goes a[G]way_[D]__
[VERSE]
A [G]boy just turned sixteen
Oh, he's [C]bashful, lives in [Em]dreams
And his [C]heart breaks when the girls go by his [G]way
[G]He's choking deep inside
It's from [C]swallowing false [Em]pride
'Til he rememb[C]ers that old prayer, "It goes a[G]way"
[CHORUS]
It goes away, it might take [Bm]years
Or a [C]hundred thousand [Em]tears
But one [C]day the sky will clear
It goes a[G]way_[D]__
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[G] [C] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
[G] [C] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
[VERSE]
The [G]older that we grow
All the [C]less we seem to [Em]know
But we [C]still recite the old prayers every [G]day
[G]How we hope the bomb won't drop
Yeah, and [C]all the wars will [Em]stop
And when our hearts [C]break, that the pain will go a[G]way
[CHORUS]
It goes away, it might take [Bm]years
Or a [C]hundred thousand [Em]tears
But one [C]day the sky will clear
It goes a[G]way_[D]__
[CHORUS]
It goes a[G]way, it might take [Bm]years
Or a [C]hundred thousand [Em]tears
But one [C]day the sky will clear
It goes a[G]way[D]___[G]__
