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