[Pattern I]
C                               G
When you were born you were not alone
                            F
Nothing was carved into the stone

Quiet [?] but don't forget
     C                      G                  C
You heard someone say it won't get better than this

That was the sound of your father
 G
As he held you up to your mother
F
No one will ever know
C                           G                      C
The love as pure as the one that you felt right then


C             G                Dm
They held you up, they held you up
     C                  G
And everybody else they fell to the wayside
C
This is the stuff of beginning
G
The prologue to the yarn that you're spinning
F                          C                          G
A million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling

     Dont ever leave cause if you do dear
        C                F
I guarantee that you’ll regret

The day you did
                C
And youll miss all the simple things
                F
And youll see everything you ever loved
       G                  F
Start fading till there's nothing left but dust

C        G         F              G               C
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
             F               G
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
 C            G               F        G          C
And I see the things that I pretend that I don't see
  F                    G
And I store them in my head, love
G
If only for memories
