Bm A G
[Verse 1]
D G
Lying at the bottom - I can clearly see the top
Em 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.
Em A
You know, I'm often prone to stumble - but it's this rock that catches me
[Chorus 1]
Bm A G D
And it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
Bm A G D
It's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
Bm 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
Em 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
Em A
Well, I still draw my greatest comfort - from the rock that lies beneath
[Chorus 2]
Bm A G D
And it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
Bm A G D
It's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
Bm A G D
Oh, it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
Bm A G D
And it's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
Bm A G
'Cause you don't know how tall you stand until you fall
A Bm A G
That's what valleys are for
A G D
Well, that's what valleys are for.
