Thats The Way It Goes

  C                             Em
When you’re in the valley of despair
C                                 
Feels as though you always will be
  Em
 there                              
               F
                         F
Let your heart be strong, though the
 road is long,
                  Bb    G/C
 there’s a way to go
C                                 
Soon enough the path will start to
  Em
 rise,
C                             
To mountains high and clear and 
           Em
sunny skies.
                        F          
The way will take you high, the way
                F
 will take you low,
                  Bb    G/C
That’s the way it goes
 C                      Em        
That’s the way it goes sometimes, 
  C
things are going to work out
Continues after the ad
Em
fine.
                    F           
Rain will fall and then sun will 
        Fm
shine again,
                    C
that’s the way it goes
C                                 
And when the raging waters rush 
    Em
your way,
C                              
And it feels like you won’t last 
          Em
another day.
                   F               
          F
G/C
Let your heart be brave, the calming
 of the waves is nearer than you 
know
C                              Em
Stormy days will be a distant 
    C                             
dream floating in a still and quiet 
Em
stream
                    F              
The river will run fast, the river 
         F                       
will run slow, that’s the way it 
Bb   G/C
goes

CHORUS
F                    Fm          
Life’s a mystery and we don’t 
                 G
always see God’s hand
 F                               
He’s the Lord of love and wonder, 
  Fm                   G/C
one day we will understand
