C
Holding on, lettin' go
           Am
Wide open, slow
        C
And somewhere those rivers meet

In a place called bittersweet

[Chorus]

Ain't love 'til it breaks you
      F
Ain't real 'til it shakes you
      Am                           G
Ain't faith 'til you fall on your knees
      C
We're living and dying
    F
And laughing and crying
    Am                   Em
And finding the beauty between
   F
It hurts and it heals and it tastes
      C
Bittersweet

[Verse 2]

I always wished when I was younger
      F
I was older, now I'm older, wiser
                C                Am
Wishin' I could stop time in its tracks
             C
'Cause there ain't a single minute
             F                 C
Without some bittersweet in it
        F
Raise a glass
C               G
I'll tip it back

[Chorus]
C
Ain't love 'til it breaks you
      F
Ain't real 'til it shakes you
      Am                           G
Ain't faith 'til you fall on your knees
      C
We're living and dying
    F
And laughing and crying
    Am                   G
And finding the beauty between
   F
It hurts and it heals and it tastes
      C
Bittersweet
Am           F           C
Bittersweet, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]

Lookin' back, movin' on
             Am
I'm here and gone
             C
From in the moment to memories

This life is bittersweet

[Chorus]

Ain't love 'til it breaks you
      F
Ain't real 'til it shakes you
      Am                           G
Ain't faith 'til you fall on your knees
      C
We're living and dying
    F
And laughing and crying
    Am                   Em
And finding the beauty between

[Chorus 2]
G         C
Oh, ain't love 'til it breaks you

      F
Ain't real 'til it shakes you
      Am                     C     G
Ain't faith 'til you fall on your knees
      Am
We're living and dying
    F
And laughing and crying
    C                  Em     G
And finding the beauty between
   F
It hurts and it heals and it tastes
      C                             F
Bittersweet, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
         Am    F
Oh, bittersweet
