Chords in this song · guitar

Am C Em Am

My walls are leaning and my foundation is starting to crack

Am C Em Am

Too many people in my mind, too much pain on my back

Am C Em Am

I've been so low that I didn't think it would pass

Am C Em Am

Where I made it through each day glass by glass

F G Am

Well I could feel my life sinking lower

F G Am

My whole world was turning slower

G B7 Em

Sorrows outnumbered hope more day by day

G B7 Em

Every step sank deeper into thicker clay

F G Am

But I can admit when I need to start over

F G Em Am

And get past my darkest hour

Am C Em Am

My roots are still good enough to keep me moving on

Am C Em Am

I just need to trim the branches that grew wild and wrong

Am C Em Am

It's sure going to hurt but I'm going to make it through

Am C Em Am

After I heal new branches will grow straight and true

F G Am

Well I could feel my life sinking lower

F G

My whole world was turning slower

G B7 Em

Sorrows outnumbered hope more day by day

G B7 Em

Every step sank deeper into thicker clay

F G Am

But I can admit when I need to start over

F G Em Am

And get past my darkest hour
