C                             
When you were born you were not 
  G
alone
                            F
Nothing was carved into the stone 
quite yet, but don't forget
    C                    G        
You heard someone say it won't get
             C
 better than this
C                                 
That was the sound of your father
   G

G                                 
As he held you up to your mother
  F

F
No one will ever know,
  C                  G            
a love a pure as the one that you 
           C
felt right then
C              G                Dm
They held you up, they held you up
    C                   G
And everybody else they fell to the 
wayside
C
This is the start the beginning
G
The prologue to the tale that you're
 spinning
Dm                      C        
A million synonyms will never 
              G
come close to describe the feeling
F F F            C C C       
      Don't ever leave, cause
        G G G
 if you do dear
        Am                 F
I guarantee that you'll regret the 
day you did
                C
and you'll miss all the simple 
things
                G
And you'll see everything you've 
ever loved
start fading till there's nothing 
         Am
left oh

[Chorus]
Am      C          G            
And I believe that every broken 
F                Am
bone is meant to be
Am          C             
And when it heals it will be 
   G
stronger than it was before
Am    C        G                
And I see, the things that I 
F                 Am
pretend that I don't see
Am    C                G
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories

C                                
So now you're young and you feel 
G
alone
Despite friends family and all the 
F
good things now surrounding you
    C                              
You can't help thinking that 
  G                     C
there's gotta be some more to do
C                                 
When all the things that you 
    G
cherish
G                                 
Turn into burdens and there is
  F

F
No other path to take,
    C                       G     
you know what you've got to do but
                C
 you don't know how
C             G                  
They hold you back they hold you 
Dm
down
           C                      
And you're gonna feel bad but you 
G
know that you've gotta get out
C
This is your pain your dilemma
G
Do you stay in the town where they 
raised ya
Dm                     C     
Or will you sail away, pull the 
                 G
anchor and go headed for the 
come-what-may?
F F F             C C C      
      You have to leave, 
         G G G
cause if you don't dear
             Am                 F
you'll never see the things you read
 about in books
            C
you saw the films and you were 
hooked
         G
but everything you want won't come 
to you
you realize now that you've gotta go
          Am
 see this through

[Chorus]
Am      C          G            
And I believe that every broken 
F                Am
bone is meant to be
Am          C             
And when it heals it will be 
   G
stronger than it was before
Am    C        G                
And I see, the things that I 
F                 Am
pretend that I don't see
Am    C                G
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories

C                              G
So now you're old raising your own
                             F
Two souls to make yourself a home, 
you finally settled down
       C                       G  
you've seen the world but your 
                   C
heart never left this town
C                                 
They have the eyes of their mother
  G

G                                 
The kind of crooked teeth of their
        F
 father
F
No one will ever know
  C                   G           
A love as pure as the one that you
          C
 feel for them
C                G               
You'll hold them up you'll hold 
    Dm
them up
    C                   G
And everybody else will fall to the 
wayside
C
There is no end no beginning
G
On this merry-go-round we call 
living
Dm                        C  
Some day you will return, every 
                        G
single ounce of the love you were 
given
F F F                  C C C 
      Someday they'll go, and
           G G G
 when they leave home
             Am               F
you will be grateful for the lesson 
that you learned
            C
you had to travel half the world
       G
to realize what you knew all along
that everything will end up where it
   Am
 belongs

[Chorus]
Am      C          G            
And I believe that every broken 
F                Am
bone is meant to be
Am          C             
And when it heals it will be 
   G
stronger than it was before
Am    C        G                
And I see, the things that I 
F                 Am
pretend that I don't see
Am    C                G
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories
