C                                                                                 G  
When you were born you were not alone
                                                                          F  
Nothing was carved into the stone quite yet, but don't forget
          C                                                    G                                                      C  
You heard someone say it won't get better than this
C                                                                                              G  
That was the sound of your father
G                                                                                            F  
As he held you up to your mother
F  
No one will ever know,
     C                                              G                                                            C  
a love a pure as the one that you 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                                                         G  
A million synonyms will never come close to describe the feeling
F                                 C                                         G  
                Don't ever leave, cause 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
                                                                                                                  Am  
start fading till there's nothing left oh
Am              C                         G                              F                                         Am  
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Am                         C                                         G  
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Am         C                    G                                         F                                            Am  
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Am         C                                         G  
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories
G    C    G    C  
C                                                                                    G  
So now you're young and you feel alone
                                                                                             F  
Despite friends family and all the good things now surrounding you
          C                                                                                    G                                                      C  
You can't help thinking that there's gotta be some more to do
C                                                                                                 G  
When all the things that you cherish
G                                                                                            F  
Turn into burdens and there is
F  
No other path to take,
          C                                                            G                                                      C  
you know what you've got to do but you don't know how
C                                 G                                              Dm  
They hold you back they hold you down
                             C                                                         G  
And you're gonna feel bad but you 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                                                         G  
Or will you sail away, pull the anchor and go headed for the come-what-may?
F                                    C                                         G  
                You have to leave, 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
                                                                                                                          Am  
you realize now that you've gotta go see this through
Am              C                         G                              F                                         Am  
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Am                         C                                         G  
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Am         C                    G                                         F                                            Am  
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Am         C                                         G  
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories
G    C    G    C  
C                                                                              G  
So now you're old raising your own
                                                                             F  
Two souls to make yourself a home, you finally settled down
                  C                                                            G                                                      C  
you've seen the world but your heart never left this town
C                                                                                            G  
They have the eyes of their mother
G                                                                                                            F  
The kind of crooked teeth of their father
F  
No one will ever know
     C                                                 G                                                      C  
A love as pure as the one that you feel for them
C                                         G                                                 Dm  
You'll hold them up you'll hold 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                                                                    G  
Some day you will return, every single ounce of the love you were given
F                                                 C                                 G  
                Someday they'll go, and 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
                                                                                                        Am  
that everything will end up where it belongs
Am              C                         G                              F                                         Am  
And I believe that every broken bone is meant to be
Am                         C                                         G  
And when it heals it will be stronger than it was before
Am         C                    G                                         F                                            Am  
And I see, the things that I pretend that I don't see
Am         C                                         G  
And I keep them in my head love
If only for memories
