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