Chords: Am C G Dm 
 
Intro: 
 
Am C G Dm (x2) 
 
verse 1: 
 
         Am       C     G       Dm 
Take the clouds a while just to fall 
          Am        C     G            Dm 
Change it back when I was lying on the floor 
      Am       C         G      Dm 
Maybe that's a sacrifice called forth 
       Am      C                    G      Dm       
Let it give up everything I've ever worked for 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
    Am    C   G  Dm 
You think I'm crazy 
    Am    C   G  Dm 
You think I'm crazy 
 
Chorus: 
 
        Am    C     G   Dm 
But the story isn't over 
    Am   C    G    Dm 
No, it's only just begun 
         Am             C       G         
You know sometimes it's hard to understand 
    Dm                 G          Dm 
The road we're on, the road we're on 
 
verse 2: 
 
        Am      C    G      Dm 
Wore my fingers down to the bone 
         Am          C        G         Dm 
Gave you everything, my mind, my heart, my soul 
       Am     C        G               Dm 
If you had of seen the heartache in my eyes 
    Am        C       G     Dm 
You know that I could never compromise 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
    Am    C   G  Dm 
You think I'm crazy 
    Am    C   G  Dm 
You think I'm crazy 
 
        Am    C     G   Dm 
But the story isn't over 
    Am   C    G    Dm 
No, it's only just begun 
         Am             C       G 
You know sometimes it's hard to understand 
    Dm                 G          Dm 
The road we're on, the road we're on 
 
    Am      C    G        Dm 
The story's just beginning 
      Am   C   G      Dm 
I can feel the rising sun 
         Am             C       G 
You know sometimes it's hard to comprehend 
    Dm                 G          Dm 
The road we're on, the road we're on, yeah 
 
Bridge: 
 
                       Am 
When you're at your end 
                       C 
And the road's still on 
                      G 
You know a broken bone 
                          Dm 
Grows back twice as strong 
      Am    C    G        Dm 
Yeah, grows back twice as strong 
 
Chorus: 
 
         Am             C       G 
You know sometimes it's hard to understand 
    Dm                 G          Dm 
The road we're on, the road we're on 
    Am   C  G    Dm 
The story's just beginning 
      Am   C   G      Dm 
I can feel the rising sun 
         Am             C       G 
You know sometimes it's hard to understand 
    Dm                 G          Dm 
The road we're on, the road we're on 
 
Outro: 
 
Am C G Dm (x2)
