[Verse 1]
     D     Em        C             G     D           Em     C  G
Call this a stepping stone, call it sand through the glass
       D                   Em     C   G     D        G     D  G
Things change and though it hurts now, this too will pass


[Verse 2]
       D    Em     C    G     D      Em   C  G
Leaves fade, stars fall, time slips away
      D    Em     C     G     D          Em   C
Waves break walls shake, each hour, each day


[Chorus]
    D                         G         C     D
And all through the ages, the sages maintain
                  G
Nothing good ever lasts
       D                        G            C             D
What's true for the sun must be true for the rain, and you know
N.C.            G  
This too will pass

[Verse 3]
     D   Em      C     G      D       Em    C  G
Dark days strong words, meant for the best
        D   Em   C    G    D        Em    C  G
It only took one look, you know the rest


[Verse 4]
     D         Em   C  G    D         Em  C
Good times they fly by, how soon they go
    G    D    Em        C   G       D       Em    C
But pain too is washed away, by the river's flow


[Chorus]
  D                        G           C      D
A knock on the door in the dark of the night
                    G
A paper kite in the grass
D                         G              C              D
Shadows may fall, but the world turns to light, and you know
N.C.            G  
This too will pass
