In times like these,
in times like those, what will be will be,
and so it goes.
And it al ways goes (F#m)on and on and on (B)and on and on.
(F#m)On and on and on (B)and on and on it goes.
Mm, hmm, (E)hmm.
Mm, hmm, (A)hmm.
Mm, hmm, (E)hmm.
And there’s al ways been (F#m)laugh ing, cry ing, birth and dy ing, boys and girls with hearts that take and give and break and (F#m)heal and grow and re cre ate and raise and nur ture, but then hurt from time to times like these and times like those.
What will be will be,
and so it goes.
And there will al ways be (F#m)stop and go and fast and slow and ac tion, re (B)ac tion and sticks and stones and bro ken bones, (F#m)those for peace and those for war and God bless these ones, not those ones, but these ones made times like these in times like those.
What will be will be,
and so it goes.
And it al ways goes (F#m)on and on and on (B)and on and on and on and on and on and (B)on and on it goes.
Mm, hmm, (E)hmm.
Mm, hmm, (A)hmm.
Mm, hmm, (E)hmm.
But some how I know it won’t be the (E)same.
Some how I know,
nev er be the (E)same.
