[C]Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh [G]oh
Only sound, only sound that you hear is "[F]no"
You never saw it coming
Slipped when you started running
And [C]now you've come undone and [G]I, I, I, I
[C]Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, [G]eh eh
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors [F]fade
Wish I could make it better
Someday you won't remember
This pain [C]you thought would last forever[G] and ever
[D]There you'll stand, ten feet tall
[A]I will say, I knew it all along
[G]Your eyes' wider than distance
[Am]This life's sweeter than fiction
[C]Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh [G]oh
All you got, all you got are your shattered [F]hopes
They never saw it coming
You hit the ground running
[C]And now you're onto something,[G] I, I, I say
[C]What a sight, what a sight when the light [G]came on
Proved me right, proved
me right when you proved [F]them wrong
And in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
[C]The rain we thought would last [G]forever and ever
[D]There you'll stand, ten feet tall
[A]I will say, I knew it all along
[G]Your eyes' wider than distance
[Am]This life's sweeter than fiction
[D]Ooo I, Ooo I, Ooo I [A]Ohh
[G]Ooo I, Ooo I, Ooo I [Am]Ohh
[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 my poems like a perfect rhyme
[C]Took off faster than a green light, go
Yeah, you skip the conversation when you already know
[Am]I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
[F]And that was the first day
And [G]darling, [Am]it was [F]good
[G]Never [Am]looking [F]down
And [G]right there [Am]where we [F]stood
Was holy [C]ground
[D]Ooo I, Ooo I, Ooo I [A]Ohh
[G]Ooo I, Ooo I, Ooo I [Am]Ohh
[C]Tonight I'm gonna dance
For all that we've been through
[F]But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancing with you
[C]Tonight I'm gonna dance
Like you were in this room
[Am]But I don't wanna dance
[F]If I'm not dancing with you
[D]I'll be one of the many saying,
[Am]Look at you now, look at you now, now
[G]I'll be one of the many saying,
[Am]You made us proud, you made us proud, proud
[D]I'll be one of the many saying,
[Am]Look at you now, look at you now, now
[G]I'll be there time and again
'Cause I [A]loved you when
And [G]darling, [Am]it was [F]good
[G]Never [Am]looking [F]down
And [G]right there [Am]where we [F]stood
Was holy [C]ground
[Am]This life's sweeter than fiction
Was holy [C]ground
[Am]This life's sweeter than fiction
