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