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