 This has the live version and track notes mixed together so its not perfectly matched
to the song because IMAGINE DRAGONS plays it a little differently live, but the base is
both the same so you can mess around with it to make it work. I added a couple extra 
things in there to :)

Thanks to evilbeast3 for the optional lead chorus

When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see
        C'
Are all made of gold

          C
When your dreams all fail
        G
And the ones we hail
        Am
Are the worst of all

Youll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on

Ive had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving

Get up now, get up, get up now.

And I know its hard when youre falling down
