[Intro] | G | G | [Verse 1]
         G
If you try to run, before you crawl

    G
As sure as hell, you’re gonna fall

    Am                  D
So take your time, to breathe again

            Em              D/F#
Just let it out, and let it in…

      G
Your life can be, a merry go

  G
Around and round, and before you know

        Am                 D
You’re back to where you start again

          Em              D/F#
So let it out, and let it in…
[Chorus]
              G              C         Am         D
You’re gonna fall with the grace of a cannonball

              G           C            Am     D
You’re gonna rise like a tide above it all

            G              C        D              Em
You gotta play, play your hand, or die where you stand

               C      D          Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin

               C      D        G     D    C
Sometimes you lose before you win
[Verse 2]
     G
You gotta try to live your life

    G
A quarter mile at a time

           Am              D
Hear the starting gun and you begin

          Em              D/F#
To let it out, and let it in…
[Chorus]
              G            C     Am       D
You’re gonna run like the river runs deep

               G            C              Am      D
You’re gonna blow like the wind, wind of change

           Em              C          D             Em
You gotta find, find the spark, that lights up the dark

               C      D          Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin

               C      D        G
Sometimes you lose before you win
[Solo] | G | C | Am | D | 2x [Bridge]
            G              C        D              Em
You gotta play, play your hand, or die where you stand

               C      D          Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin

               C      D        G
Sometimes you lose before you win
[Chorus]
              G            C     Am       D
You’re gonna run like the river runs deep

               G            C              Am      D
You’re gonna blow like the wind, wind of change

           Em              C          D             Em
You gotta find, find the spark, that lights up the dark

               C      D          Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin

               C      D        G
Sometimes you lose before you win

               C      D        G
Sometimes you lose before you win
