[Intro] Em D Bm C D [Verse 1]
Em      D            Bm          C
  Time spent like a spendthrift clown

   D    Em      D
So many chances wasted

        Bm        C
So many hopes let down

    D     Em           D
You didn't see how your pain

  Bm           C
Became your refrain

   Am7      D5           Bm7   Em7
You always thought there was tomorrow

Am7            D5          Bm7   Cadd9
Wish you could get back what you let go
D [Chorus]
           Em   D       Am7
But it's alright if you fall

             Em          D
You just get up, just go on

      Am7                 Bm7
Never mind the hurt, even if you burn

            Em  D           Cadd9
'Cause it's all    gonna be so much better

    Am7         Bm7          Em
The moment your true self's shining through

         Am7           Bm7     Cadd9
Like the love when I'm finally holding you
[Instrumental] Em D Bm C D Em D Bm C [Verse 2]
Em       D   Bm        C
  First step after the fall

   D    Em      D             Bm            C
So many more to take till I'm done with 'em all

        Em           D            Bm  C     D
With my hopes and my dreams, my anxi-eties

    Am7      D5          Bm   Em7
But there is peace in no expectations

Am7        D5        Bm7 Cadd9
Marvelling at the hallucination
D [Chorus]
           Em   D       Am7
But it's alright if you fall

             Em          D
You just get up, just go on

      Am7                 Bm7
Never mind the hurt, even if you burn

            Em  D           Cadd9
'Cause it's all    gonna be so much better

    Am7         Bm7          Em
The moment your true self's shining through

         Am7           Bm7      Cadd9
Like the love when I'm finally holding you

Am7
   Through all these dawns

D      Dsus4 D
   Oh, winter blues

Am7
   Still wondering why

D      Dsus4 D
  And what's the use

Am7
  Oh, the first hello

D      Dsus4 D
  To the late goodbye

Cadd9            D
  When I'm made new, yeah
[Instrumental] Em D Bm C D Em D Bm Bm [Chorus]
