You've gotta knEow when love is over
You've gotta leAarn to carry on
And with the wC#m7orld upon your shoulders
You walk awF#may when hope is goneB

You fAind a way to start again you knoF#m7w
There's a tAime for love a tF#mime for letting gEo

[Verse]
When you're stE6andin' tall tomEorrow
Looking bAack at yesterdA6ay
Through the mE6emory of your sEorrow
How the dAmaj7awn was so far awA6ay

Where hAearts can learn to shine
And you wC#m7ill realize the endless night
Was F#monly a moment in tiBme
[Chorus]
You've gotta knEow when love is over
You've gotta leAarn to carry on
And with the wC#m7orld upon your shoulders
You walk awF#may when hope is goneB

When you're standin' tall tomorrow

Looking back at yesterday

Through the memory of your sorrow

How the dawn was so far away

You'll be far beyond the shadow

Where hearts can learn to shine

And you will realize the endless night

Was only a moment in time
