Livingston – Atlas Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
G   Am   Em    C   Am7   G

[Pre-Chorus]
            G
Hey, little one
      Am              Em
Don't worry about the small things
             C        Am7     G
Because they won't be there tomorrow
            G
Hey, little one
      Am         Em
Don't waste your youth on
 a broken heart
         C        Am7           G
'Cause before you know it'll be gone

[Chorus]
          G               Am
'Cause we waited years and years
       Em
Just to make it worth the tears
   C                   Am7
To find out that we're not
         G
in this alone
  G                  Am
So keep your head up high
         Em
In these hours of the night
        C               Am7
So when Atlas drops the world
        G
on your shoulders
You still won't fall

[Verse]
G               Am
 Welcome to the world of pretend
Em
We pretend we don't feel pain
                 C
We pretend we've never felt alone
      Am7                G
Never felt alone in this world
Even though being alone is
what keeps me up
G                 Am
 And it's easy to fake sometimes
       Em
'Cause life is a movie and we could
say all of our lines
    C                        Am7
And   put on a smile fix the paint
                   G
and make it look alright

And maybe they'll believe my lies
G                       Am
 But that middle school proved
              Em
 too much for me
Busy tryna find my place,
           C
forgetting where I came from,
        Am7
where I came from, yeah
    G
I'm   gone and I know
G                          Am
 And no one ever said it'd be
 this hard
Em
Ran from the questions and doubt
from the start
         C
Wondered where I came from,
        Am7                G
where I came from way back   home

G    x2

[Bridge]
G       Am          Em
 So you still stand tall
                       C
When the questions get harder
   Am7        G
to answer and everything closes in
G                Am     Em
'Cause all these things pass
with some time
      C                 Am7
And I trust that you'll still
         G
stay the same
