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