C                                                   G
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh
                                         F  
Only sound, only sound that you hear is "No"

You never saw it coming

Slipped when you started running
     C                         G 
And now you've come undone and I, I, I, I
 C                                              G
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh eh
                                            F
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade

Wish I could make it better

Someday you won't remember
       C                             G
This pain you thought would last forever and ever

  D
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
A
I will say, "I knew it all along."
 G
Your eyes–wider than distance
 Bm                 A
This life–sweeter than fiction

 C                                    G 
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh oh
                                              F
All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes

They never saw it coming

You hit the ground running
C                              G
And now you're onto something, I, I, I say
C                                           G
What a sight, what a sight when the light came on
                                                  F
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong

And in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember
C                                  G
The rain we thought would last forever and ever

  D
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
A
I will say, "I knew it all along."
 G
Your eyes–wider than distance
Bm             A
This life is sweeter than fiction
D
There you'll stand, next to me
A
All at once, the rest is history
G
Your eyes-wider than distance
Bm             A
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction
 
 D           
I'll be one of the many saying,
  Bm
"Look at you now, look at you now, now."
 G
I'll be one of the many saying,
  A
"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud."
  D
I'll be one of the many saying,
  Bm
"Look at you now, look at you now, now."
 G
I'll be one of the many saying,
 A
"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud."

D
And when they call your name
         Bm
and they put your picture in a frame
               G
You know that I'll be there time and again
           A
'Cause I loved you when, when you

D
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh
 A
Only sound, only sound that you heard was "No"
Bm
Now in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember
D
The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever)

D
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
A
I will say, "I knew it all along."
 G
Your eyes–wider than distance
Bm              A
This life is sweeter than fiction
D
There you'll stand next to me
A
All at once, the rest is history
G
Your eyes–wider than distance
Bm               A
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction
A
It's sweeter than fiction
              G
It's sweeter, yeah
              Bm           A
It's sweeter than, sweeter
               D
Sweeter than fiction
