Sweeter Than Fiction / Holy Ground

C
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit 
the
            G
 Ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear
 is
  F
 "No"
F
You never saw it comin', slipped 
when
You started runnin'
C                               G
 And now you've come undone and I, I
    C
I, I


Seen you fall, seen you crawl on 
your
           G
Knees, eh eh

See you lost in a crowd, seen your
       F
Colors fade
F
Wish I could make it better, someday
You won’t remember
C
This pain you thought would last
   G
Forever and ever

C
There you’ll stand, 10 feet tall
G                               F
I will say, "I knew it all along"
                              Am
Your eyes, wider than distance
             G                   C
This life is sweeter than fiction

C
 Just a shot, just a shot in the 
dark
    G
 Oh oh

All you got, all you got are your
          F
Shattered hopes
F
They never saw it comin', you hit 
the
Ground running
C                               G
 And now you're onto something, I, 
I, I
    C
 Say

C
What a sight, what a sight when the
           G
Light came on

Continues after the ad
Proved me right, proved me right 
when
                F
You proved them wrong
And then this perfect weather, it's
Like we don't remember
C                             
The rain you thought would last 
      G
forever
 And forever

C
There you’ll stand, 10 feet tall
G                               F
I will say, "I knew it all along"
                              Am
Your eyes, wider than distance
             G                   C
This life is sweeter than fiction

C                       Am
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah-oh-oh
C                      Am
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah-oh-oh

C
I was reminiscing just the other day

While having coffee all alone and 
Lord
It took me away
           F
Back to a first-glance feeling on 
New
York time

Back when you fit in my poems like a
Perfect rhyme

 C
Took off fast through the green 
light
Go

Hey skip the conversation and you
Already know
         Am
I left a note on the door with a 
joke
We'd made
     F
And that was the first day

     G     Am      F
And darling it was good
 G     Am     F
Never looking down
      G           Am       F
And right there where we stood
            C       F
Was holy ground

C                      Am
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah-oh-oh
C                      Am
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah-oh-oh

C
Tonight I'm gonna dance for all that
               F
We've been through

But I don't wanna dance if I'm not
Dancing with you
C
Tonight I'm gonna dance like you 
were
          F
In this room

But I don't wanna dance if I'm not
              G
Dancing with you

    C
And I’ll be one of the many saying
Am
Look at you now, look at you now, 
now
F
I’ll be one of the many saying
G
You’ve made us proud, you’ve made us
Proud, proud
C
I’ll be one of the many saying
Am
Look at you now, look at you now, 
now
F
I'll be one of the many saying
G
You've made us proud, you've made us
Proud, proud
C
And when they call your name
Am
And they put your picture in a frame

C               F
You’ll know that I’ll be there time 
&
Again
        Am      G
Cause I loved you then

   G     Am      F
Darling it was good
 G     Am     F
Never looking down
     G           Am       F
And right there where we stood
            C       F    Am   F
Was holy ground
            C       F
Was holy ground
            G                   C
This life is sweeter than fiction
     G     C
Holy ground
             G                   C
This life is sweeter than fiction
