[Verse 1]

sl.
Aadd2/Badd4 Aadd2 Badd4 Aadd2
It's alright. There comes a time.

sl.
Aadd2/Badd4 Aadd2 Badd4 Aadd2
Got no patience to search for peace of mind.

sl.
Aadd2/Badd4 Aadd2 Badd4 Aadd2
Layin' low. Want to take it slow.

sl.
Aadd2/Badd4 Aadd2 Badd4 Aadd2
No more hiding or disguising truths I sold.


[Verse 2]

It's okay. Had a bad day.
Hands are bruised from breaking rocks all day.
Drained and blue, I bleed for you.
You think it's funny, well, you're drowning in it too.


[Verse 3]

Yeah, it's fine. We'll walk down the line.
Leave our rain, a cold trade for warm sunshine.
You my friend, I will defend.
And if we change, well, I love you anyway.


G6 Aadd2


[Chorus 1,2]
