2nd traste
[Verse]
C Em
Night has fallen, let's go out into it
F C
Bring a blanket and a bottle
C G
I'll need a friend to get me through it
C Em
And lately, in this life
Em F C
There's no quick fix or easy answers
C G
Gonna put all our troubles to right
 
[Bridge]
Am G
In love it's the same
G F Em
There's no doubt blues is running the game
Em Dm C G
Keep your lantern trimmed and burning till the end of the night
Am G
Put your cheek to the wind
G F C
When you go without, then you'll go within
C Dm C
If it comes to blows, take it all on the chin
C G
There's no worthier fight
 
[Verse]
C Em
We're working, working through it
F C
Losing is a dirty word, I know
C G
But sometimes it's all we can do
C Em
Lately this heart of mine
Em F C
Has been bruised and it's been broken
C G
And it's lost a little spark of divine
 
[Chorus]
Am G F C
Riii-iii-iii-iii,-iii-iii-iight as I thought I was soaring
F C G
That thunder came roaring in, and it cut me down to size
Am G F C
Riii-iii-iii-iii,-iii-iii-iight as I had all of the answers
F C G C
You said no, there's no mountain worth its salt gonna be easy to climb
 
[Verse]
C Em
But we climbed it, and we scaled it
F
And when the wind and the weather were with us
G
I knew we wouldn't fail it
Am C
And we see it, and we take it
Dm F
And if we fall by the side at least we'll know that we tried
G
To leave a little light on our way
 
[Chorus]
Am G F C
Riii-iii-iii-iii,-iii-iii-iight as I thought I was losing
F C G
That truth came bruising and cut me right down in my pride
Am G F C
Riii-iii-iii-iii,-iii-iii-iight as I, thought I was all out of answers
F C G F
You said no, there's no mountain great or small you can't climb, oh well
F C G C
There's no mountain you can't move or you can't climb
 
[Verse]
C Em
But we climb it, and we scale it
F
And when the wind and the weather are working together
G
I knew that we could make it
Am C
And we see it, and we take it
Dm
We set out unready, unworthy and unsteady
G
For all we now leave in our wake
 
[Break]
Am G F C Dm C G
Am G F C Dm
 
[Outro]
C G C F
There's no mountain great or small you can't climb, oh yeah
C G C
There's no mountain you can't move or you can't climb
