[Intro]
C        G                Am
Stand tall for a lifetime
             F        F          C
You got more, you got more to give
         G                Am
And I hope for a lifeline

You'll be here to bring up your kids


[Verse 1]
C        G              Am
I don't know what to say to you
     F        F              C
To get it through your head
        G            Am
You are watering your roots
          F        F         C
With every tear that's shed
         G               Am       
We won't wait for a better day, 
F       F      C
this one will do
         G            Am         
At the bottom of everything is a 
F       F       C
beautiful view


[Pre-Chorus 1]
          G               Am      
If your light goes out tonight, it
        F   F         C
 will end up in the sky
          G               Am      
But my star it's not your time, 
                   C
it's not your time
          G               Am
And we'll wish up upon you
             F        F       C
And you'll wish down on us too
           G               Am
But your time is not tonight, it's 
not tonight, it's not tonight!


[Chorus]
C        G                Am
Stand tall for a lifetime

And I hope for a lifeline

[Verse 2]
                 G                
Now here's the thing with a broken 
Am
heart:
      F         F     C
More pieces to share
          G            Am
So when everything falls apart
           F           F    C
There's beauty in the tear
          G            Am         
We won't wait for a better day, to
   F        F          C
 help you pull through
          G            Am         
At the bottom of everything, I'll 
   F        F          C
be there with you


[Pre-Chorus 2]
          G               Am      
If your light goes out tonight, it
        F   F         C
 will end up in the sky
          G               Am      
But my star it's not your time, I 
          F      F          C
need you shining here in mine
          G               Am
And we'll wish up upon you
             F        F       C
And you'll wish down on us too
           G               Am     
But your time is not tonight, it's
      F
 not tonight, it's not tonight!

Stand tall for a lifetime

You got more, you got more to give
