[Verse 1]
C
Hit the ground,
hit the ground,
hit the ground,
    G
 oh oh
Only sound, only
sound that
             F
you hear is "No"
F
You never saw it
comin', slipped
when you started
runnin'
C
 And now you've
come undone
    G          C
and I, I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen
you crawl on
                G
your knees, eh eh
See you lost in
a crowd,
                 F
seen your colors fade
F
Wish I could make
it better,
someday you won’t
remember
C
This pain you thought
 would
        G
last forever and ever

[Chorus]
C
There you’ll stand,
10 feet tall
G
I will say, "I knew
            F
it all along"
Your eyes, wider
             Am
than distance
             G
This life is sweeter
            C
than fiction

[Verse 2]
C
 Just a shot, just
a shot
                G
in the dark, oh oh
All you got, all you
got are your
          F
shattered hopes
F
They never saw it
comin',
you hit the ground
running
C
 And now you're
 onto something,
G          C
I, I, I say
C
What a sight, what
a sight
                    G
when the light came on
Proved me right,
proved me right when
                F
you proved them wrong
And then this perfect
weather,
it's like we don't
remember
C
The rain you thought
would last
    G
forever and forever

[Verse 3]
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 in
 my
poems like a perfect
rhyme
 C
Took off fast through
the green light go
Hey skip the conversation
and you already know
         Am
I left a note on the door
with a joke we'd made
     F
And that was the first day

[Chorus]
     G     Am      F
And darling it was good
 G     Am     F
Never looking down
      G           Am
And right there where
      F
 we stood
            C       F
Was holy ground
C
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah,
       Am
ooh-ah-oh-oh
C
Ooh-ah, ooh-ah,
       Am
ooh-ah-oh-oh

[Bridge]
C
Tonight I'm gonna
dance
for all
 that we've been
   F
through
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
But I don't wanna
dance if I'm not
              G
dancing with you
    C
And I’ll be one of
the many saying
Am
Look at you now, look
at you now, now
F
I’ll be one of the
many saying
G
You’ve made us proud,
you’ve made us proud,
 proud
C
I’ll be one of the
many saying
Am
Look at you now, look at
you now, now
C               F
You’ll know that I’ll be
there time & again
        Am      G
Cause I loved you then...

[Chorus]
   G     Am      F
Darling it was good
 G     Am     F
Never looking down
     G           Am
And right there where
    F
we stood
Was holy
   C    F    Am   F
ground
            C    F
Was holy ground
            G
This life is sweeter
           C
than fiction
     G     C
Holy ground
             G
This life is sweeter
            C
than fiction
