And life will happen real fast like a pinprick
      G#
And sometimes you're not even warned
       Cm
Yeah, life will happen so quick in a heartbeat
      G#
You dangle from threads badly torn

             Bb
Sometimes we run
              G#
Sometimes we crawl
                   Bb
Sometimes there's just
           Cm
No hope at all
                G#
So this is the cost
           Cm
This is the cost
                 Bb
For all that is lost
             Cm
All that is lost

(mesma base do verso:)
And night will fall sometimes swifter than raindrops
And hold you too close to its chest
Your hands so strong have turned awfully skinny
No break if you're put to the test

Mamma's gonna make you believe

There are better days over that hill

Mamma's gonna make you believe
      Fm                        Bb
That good things are happening still

Mamma's gonna give you the world
Though the world is maybe last on your list
Mamma's gonna cradle your heart
Your heart is right in her fist

Sometimes we run...

Sometimes we run

Sometimes we crawl (prossegue o refrão)
