Intro C – Am- Em – F – C – G – C 

C                 Am
I hate to see you cry
                Em  F  C G
Lying there in that position
C                          Am
There's things you need to hear
                 Em    F   C   G
So turn off your tears and listen

G               C            F
Pain throws you heart to the ground
G              C            F
Love turns the whole thing around
G            C          F          C
No, it won't all go the way, it should
      F        C         G       C
But I know the heart of life is good

C                     Am
You know it's nothing new
               Em  F    C   G
Bad news never had good timing
C                        Am
Then the circle of your friends
                Em  F   C  G
Will defend the silver lining

G               C                F
Pain throws you heart to the ground
G              C           F
Love turns the whole thing around
G            C          F          C
No, it won't all go the way, it should
      F        C        G       C
But I know the heart of life is good

G               C                F
Pain throws you heart to the ground
G              C           F
Love turns the whole thing around
G            C          F          C
No, it won't all go the way, it should
      F        C        G       C
But I know the heart of life is good
   G         
I know it’s good
