[Verse 1]
G# C#
Lying at the bottom - I can clearly see the top
A#m D#
Pressed against this firm foundation - I count none of this as loss
G# C#
And as I struggle up this mountain - with every bloody knee.
A#m D#
You know, I'm often prone to stumble - but it's this rock that catches me
[Chorus 1]
Fm D# C# G#
And it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
Fm D# C# G#
It's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
Fm D# C#
You don't know how tall you stand until you fall
[Verse 2]
G# C#
Mountains cast a shadow - At times it's hard to tell
A#m D#
Will the darkness over take you - will you succeed or fail
G# C#
Though I've climbed a hundred mountains - and stood upon their peaks
A#m D#
Well, I still draw my greatest comfort - from the rock that lies beneath
[Chorus 2]
Fm D# C# G#
And it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
Fm D# C# G#
It's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
Fm D# C# G#
Oh, it's this rock that tells me - that's what valleys are for
Fm D# C# G#
And it's from here that we measure - just how far we must go
Fm D# C#
'Cause you don't know how tall you stand until you fall
D# Fm D# C#
That's what valleys are for
D# C# G#
Well, that's what valleys are for.
