(Verse 1)
C
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh
Only sound, only sound that you hear is “
You never saw it coming
Slipped when you started running
C
now you’ve come undone and
C
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees,
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors
Wish I could make it better
Someday you won’t remember
C
you thought would last forever
D
there you’ll stand, ten feet tall
A
I will say, I knew it all along
G
Your eyes’ wider than distance
Am
This life’s sweeter than fiction
C
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh
All you got, all you got are your shattered
They never saw it coming
You hit the ground running
C
And now you’re onto something,
C
What a sight, what a sight when the light
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved
And in this perfect weather
It’s like we don’t remember
C
The rain we thought would last
D
there you’ll stand, ten feet tall
A
I will say, I knew it all along
G
Your eyes’ wider than distance
Am
This life’s sweeter than fiction
D
There you’ll stand, next to me
A
All at once, the rest is history
G
Your eyes’ wider than distance
Am
This life’s sweeter than fiction, fiction
D
I’ll be one of the many saying,
Am
Look at you now, look at you now, now
G
I’ll be one of the many saying,
Am
You made us proud, you made us proud, proud
D
I’ll be one of the many saying,
Am
Look at you now, look at you now, now
G
I’ll be one of the many saying,
Am
You made us proud, you made us proud, proud
D
And when they call your name
Am
put your picture in a frame
G
I’ll be there time and again
A
loved you when, when you
D
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh
A
Only sound, only sound that you heard was “no”
G
Now in this perfect weather
It’s like we don’t remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever)
D
There you’ll stand, ten feet tall
A
I will say, I knew it all along
G
Your eyes’ wider than distance
Am
This life’s sweeter than fiction
D
There you’ll stand next to me
A
All at once, the rest is history
G
Your eyes’ wider than distance
Am
This life’s sweeter than fiction,
