Song: The Way Things Go Tab

I believe it to be tuned half step down, but it sounds just as good in standard tuning but i prefer half step down

This is the picking pattern for the intro and first verse. 
Play the intro twice then start singing

You know when you're young and you know everything
The sky is the limit and the grass is a little more green
No matter where you are
And I coulda swore back when I was 15
I'd go to college and get my business degree
I never made it that far
G 	  	  	      D 	 
God put a big old wrench in my plans
 	 G
And he put this guitar in my hands

CADD9 CADD9 G CADD9 (here strum down up down down)

Chorus

CADD9
So much for crystal balls and wishin on stars 
 	  	  	  	     G
As you're watchin them fall to the ground
CADD9
Yeah you can dream big and you can dream small
 	  	  	  	  	  	    G
But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found

CADD9* 	  	  	      G*
Cause its gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
           CADD9* 	  	 G* 	            EM7 	      D
And as sure as you go on and give up you're heart a curve gets thrown
START PICKING THE INTRO HERE
That's the way things go

I woulda tattooed her name on my arm 
If you would've asked me Id bet the whole damn farm
And more on us
So much for her being my meant to be
Cause she changed her mind like the wind and the joke was on me
She left me in the dust
G 	  	  	  	   D
But if she hadn't left my heart black and blue 
G
I woulda never found you

CADD9 CADD9 G CADD9 (here strum down up down down)

CADD9
So much for crystal balls and wishin on stars 
 	  	  	  	     G
As you're watchin them fall to the ground
CADD9
Yeah you can dream big and you can dream small
 	  	  	  	  	  	    G
But it all comes down to the luck of the draw so I found
CADD9*                         G*
Cause its gonna rain as soon as you wash your car
         CADD9*  	  	G*  	  	    EM7               D
And as sure as you go on and give up you're heart a curve gets thrown
CADD9 	                D
Yeah a curve gets thrown
START PICKING THE INTRO HERE
That's the way things go

End by playing the intro a couple of times
