                         A-F#m                      F#m-A
And you may find yourself,  in another part of the world

And you may find yourself,  behind the wheel of a large automobile

And you may find yourself, in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
             F#m  -  A        A-F#m           F#m-A
And you may ask yourself, well,    how did I get here? 

[Chorus]
 /A-         D          /F#  -   G   
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
/A-        D          /F#   -   G    
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
/A-        D         /F#  - G         
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself,    where is that large automobile? 
                         A-F#m                          F#m-A
And you may tell yourself,    this is not my beautiful house 
                         A-F#m                          F#m-A

                        A-F#m                     F#m-A
And you may ask yourself,  where does that highway go to? 
                        A-F#m                 F#m-A
And you may ask yourself,  am I right?  am I wrong?

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, look where my hand was

After the rain holds up, same as it ever was, then a twister comes, here comes the twister
                      C     -    G         D
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
