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