[Verse]
Now as our pGoor young lungs deflatB7e, I'll admit CI've gotten olGder
Mellowed outC, chatting Gup those I used to hDateD/F#  
The feeling that we're lGost will always fadeB7, I presenCt no explanaGtion
Can't expeCct our tired pGatience to saDtiate for lD/F#ong
[Chorus]
And therein lies a tCruth we can sip when we waGnt
Disciples of the flCow we can float anywherGe
If ever there's a dCrought I've listed the pudGdles
Proven to betDter coax the D/F#divine out from within

[Verse]
Remember there's more Groad, and places to gBmo
And patterns to conEmtemplate, more people to forCnicate
And remember there's a lGot of good omens suEmpplying the proof that our life Cis the best joke ever toDld
Remember its a jGoke, and leave it alBmone.
Let go and tEmry to be always abidCing
Remember if there's Gone good reason for dyEming, the sweet silver linCing, through you she lives onD  
[Chorus]
And therein lies a cCoast we can see through the fGog
An island in our thoCughts can be heaven on EaGrth

Let go and try to be always abiding
