G5 Fsus2 Em C/G
[Verse 1]
G When I grew up Em C/G I had big city dreams G I wondered if the Bible was wrong Em C/G What the hell were they teaching me? G I was lost in thought Em C/G And I could not hide it G But the sun - it kept on risin' Em C/G So, I played along
[Chorus 1]
G5 But now that you're gone and Fsus2 And I write down this song Em C/G I don't believe this is how it's meant to be G5 The church bells they ring Fsus2 You can hear the mourners sing Em They still believe C/G This is how it's meant to be
[Verse 2]
G The wheels touch down Em C/G All I can see is your face G Amidst the noise of the lights Em C/G The last thing on my mind was my faith G And then the morning came Em C/G And the sun started rising G But I was missing my friend Em C/G So, how do I carry on?
[Chorus 2]
G5 'Cause now that you're gone and Fsus2 And I write down this song Em C/G I don't believe this is how it's meant to be G5 The church bells they ring Fsus2 You can hear the mourners sing Em They still believe C/G This is how it's meant to be
[Bridge]
Em G Like a mother bird crying out for its young D/A* C/G I will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs
[Chorus 3]
G5 'Cause now that you're gone and Fsus2 And I write down this song Em C/G I don't believe this is how it's meant to be G The church bells they ring Fsus2 You can hear the mourners sing Em They still believe C/G This is how it's meant to be
[Outro]
G Fsus2 Em C/G Hey Oh G5 Fsus2 Em C/G G Oh how it's meant to be, yeah
