[Verse 1]
             G
The day has come
   C          D          G
tomorrow has run out of excuses
      C               D           
the coming years will know the way
    G     G/F#         Em
 we choose is for the best
C D          G
  So we will go

             G
The gowns are gone
   C                  D          
The caps have been trodden by the 
G
crowds
          C               D       
and as our hands begin to bend and
        G     G/F#         Em
 our youth has met an end
C D          G
  So we will go

[Chorus]
Em                            C
And as our innocence forgets us
Em                            C
And as our teenage sins regret us
Em                            C  
And as our minutes turn into 
          D
seconds in the past
         G
So on we go!

[Verse 2]
              G
There will be times
Continúa después del anuncio
           C          D           
where the wash-outs will beg us 
    G
all to fail
          C               D       
And the red love that the red 
        G     G/F#         Em
hearts knew will pinken and pale
C D          G
  So we will go

              G
There will be love
           C          D           
and so it was before there will be
    G
 love
      C               D      G
And so it is again there will be 
     G/F#         Em
heaven up above
C          D          G
So help me God on we will go

[Verse 3]
              G
There will be life
           C                   
There will be taxis, tears, and 
D               G
taxes and strife
      C                         
And your friends will find their 
   D      G     G/F#          Em
husbands and their wives and grow 
old with delight
C          D          G
So on they will go

              G
There will be ends
           C                   
There will be death and dusk and 
D               G
dark and mailmen
      C               D           
And the letters will seem dated 
     G     G/F#         Em
and the dates will let her in
           C          D          
On the fact that we're still going 
G
along

[Verse 4]
          Em
So we drive
    C          D               G
past medians and mediums and highs
    C          D               G
Hellos and such and good days never 
bad
      C       D      G
People are expected to be had
    C          D               G
You never found yourself thinking of
 the past
    C          D               G
Medians and mediums we drive

              G
The day is here
   C          D               G
The future has run out of time
  C           D               G
The song has run out of a rhyme
      C               D       
As teenage years and frightened 
         G     G/F#         Em
hearts are moving out the door
  C           D               G
Children, we will be nevermore

[Chorus]
  C   D    Em
But so on we go
 C   D   G
So on we go
