C               Em
It won't last forever
F                         C
It's there and then it's gone
Am              Em
Burns out like firewood
F                     G
And fades out like a song

Chorus:
F             G
And I have no answers darling
C                      Am
It's neither right or wrong
              Dm
But when the hammer comes down
G7
It is going going gone

It's the wheel of fortune
It's the luck of the draw
It's funny how the people with the most
Are the ones who are reaching out for more

Chorus:
There's no rhyme or reason darling
It's neither short or long
But when the hammer comes down
It is going going gone


Am                   D7
Like sunshine on the ocean
           G                F             C F/C C
You can't catch it in your hands if you try
Am                   D7
Like waking from a dream that's fading
         G              F
And the more that you chase it,
     C                Am
the less that youcan taste it
     Dm7                           G7
'Til all you have's the echo of a song
             Dm7
For when the hammer comes down
      G7                    C F/C C F/C C F/C C
It is going going going gone
