City and Colour – Meant To Be (Guitar)

N.C.   C
When I grew up

      Am       F
I had big city dreams

                  C
I wondered if the Bible was wrong

                   Am            F
What the hell were they teaching me?

      C
I was lost in thought

                Am       F
And I could not hide it

                         C
But the sun - it kept on risin'

             Am          F
So, I played along

        N.C.        C
But now that you're gone and

                      Bb
And I write down this song

            Am                            F
I don't believe this is how it's meant to be

                      C
The church bells they ring

                          Bb
You can hear the mourners sing

           Am
They still believe

                       F
This is how it's meant to be

    C
The wheels touch down

          Am          F
All I can see is your face

           C
Amidst the noise of the lights

                     Am          F
The last thing on my mind was my faith

             C
And then the morning came

                    Am       F
And the sun started rising

                  C
But I was missing my friend

                   Am        F
So, how do I carry on?

                      C
Cause now that you're gone and

                      Bb
And I write down this song

            Am                            F
I don't believe this is how it's meant to be

                      C
The church bells they ring

                          Bb
You can hear the mourners sing

           Am
They still believe

                          F
This is how it's meant to be

Am            C                       F
Like a mother bird crying out for its young

               G                             F
I will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs

N.C.                  C
Cause now that you're gone and

                      Bb
And I write down this song

            Am                            F
I don't believe this is how it's meant to be

                      C
The church bells they ring

                          Bb
You can hear the mourners sing

           Am
They still believe

                          F
This is how it's meant to be

   C     Bb    Am     F
Hey         Oh

                      C         Bb     Am     F    C*    
Oh how it's meant to be, yeah
