So It Goes
Capo 2
Hope is a gun,
          Â
That you load every day,
As it s chamber is spun,
   Â
You bite down on the steel,
    Â
And you pray.
                    Â
So it goes, Â Â Â Â Â we re-cycle the errors we ve made,
                   Â
So it goes, we re condemned to repeat and to fade.
Love is a bomb,
That can keep you in place,
Can keep you alone,
Or just go off in your face.
                    Â
So it goes, Â Â Â Â Â we re-cycle the errors we ve made,
                   Â
So it goes, we re condemned to repeat and to fade,
So it goes, it s a curious way to prevail,
So it goes, we re perpetually chasing our tails.
         Â
Leave your logic behind,
         Â
Put it out of your mind,
            Â
That s not how we do things round here,
       Â
It couldn t be easier,
       Â
This splendid amnesia,
Oh we must not forget,
To forget, to forget, to forget.
Hope is a gun,
          Â
That you load every day,
As it s chamber is spun,
   Â
You bite down on the steel,
    Â
And you pray..
                    Â
So it goes, Â Â Â Â Â we re-cycle the errors we ve made,
                   Â
So it goes, we re condemned to repeat and to fade,
So it goes, it s a curious way to prevail,
So it goes, we re perpetually chasing our tails
