Intro
D#m C# B
D#m C# B
[Verse 1]
F# B
Lying at the bottom - I can clearly see the top
G#m C#
Pressed against this firm foundation - I count none of this as loss
F# B
And as I struggle up this mountain - with every bloody knee.
G#m C#
You know, I'm often prone to stumble - but it's this rock that catches me
[Chorus 1]
D#m C# B F#
And it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
D#m C# B F#
It's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
D#m C# B
You don't know how tall you stand until you fall
[Verse 2]
F# B
Mountains cast a shadow - At times it's hard to tell
G#m C#
Will the darkness over take you - will you succeed or fail
F# B
Though I've climbed a hundred mountains - and stood upon their peaks
G#m C#
Well, I still draw my greatest comfort - from the rock that lies beneath
[Chorus 2]
D#m C# B F#
And it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
D#m C# B F#
It's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
D#m C# B F#
Oh, it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
D#m C# B F#
And it's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
D#m C# B
'Cause you don't know how tall you stand until you fall
C# D#m C# B
That's what valleys are for
C# B F#
Well, that's what valleys are for.
