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