[Intro]

C Bb Am F x2

[Verse 1]

N.C. C

When I grew up

Am F

I had big city dreams

C

I wondered if the Bible was wrong

Am F

What the hell were they teaching me?

C

I was lost in thought

Am F

And I could not hide it

C

But the sun - it kept on risin'

Am F

So, I played along

[Chorus 1]

N.C. C

But now that you're gone and

Bb

And I write down this song

Am F

I don't believe this is how it's meant to be

C

The church bells they ring

Bb

You can hear the mourners sing

Am

They still believe

F

This is how it's meant to be

[Verse 2]

C

The wheels touch down

Am F

All I can see is your face

C

Amidst the noise of the lights

Am F

The last thing on my mind was my faith

C

And then the morning came

Am F

And the sun started rising

C

But I was missing my friend

Am F

So, how do I carry on?

[Chorus 2]

C

Cause now that you're gone and

Bb

And I write down this song

Am F

I don't believe this is how it's meant to be

C

The church bells they ring

Bb

You can hear the mourners sing

Am

They still believe

F

This is how it's meant to be

[Bridge]

Am C F

Like a mother bird crying out for its young

G F

I will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs

[Chorus 3]

N.C. C

Cause now that you're gone and

Bb

And I write down this song

Am F

I don't believe this is how it's meant to be

C

The church bells they ring

Bb

You can hear the mourners sing

Am

They still believe

F

This is how it's meant to be

[Outro]
