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