Old Advice

             G                         C
One of these days it's all gonna come around
     Cm                        C                   G
But don't you let the drudgery in between wear you down
               G                              C
Just keep your gaze a little farther down the road
          Cm
You keep looking at the ground
        C                         G
You're bound to lose where you're going

[Pre-chorus]
C          Cm
Day in and day out
             G                      Em
I know it's hard to keep your head about you
         Am             Am7
It takes thick skin to hold out
          D
While the world crashes in around you

[Chorus 1]
          G                  C
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
         G                       C
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
    G                         Em
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy
C
Like my mama told me...
          G                   C
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your hands steady
         G                       C
Well the water may rise and put cracks in your levy
    G                         Em                    C
The weight that you carry, it might be too heavy

G Em x4


[Verse 2]
              G                          C
Some of these days when you get knocked around
Cm                                     C                     G
Trouble sure seems bigger when you're staring up from on the ground
            G                               C
Don't be dismayed by a fight that you can't win
Cm                      C                         G
Better to lose on your feet than to lose on your chin

[Pre-chorus]
C          Cm
Day in and day out
            G                       Em
I know it's hard to keep your head about you
          Am            Am7
It takes thick skin to hold out
           D
While the world crashes in around you
