The Fight

G
So, this was not how you planned it.
Em
No, oh you don't understand it.
Am
Why, is it so misleading?
D
When all you really wanted became so defeating.
G
Time, well it only got harder
Em
Thought you had one but it was another.
Am
Then, you believed in a breakthrough
D                             D
But it took you by surprise when you came out a fool.


[Chorus]

         G                  Em
You gotta fail a thousand times
           B              D
Before you see it through.
          G                 Em
You gotta spend your last dime
            B              D
Before you ever make a million.
           C                    D
You gotta know what brought you here
              C             D
And you gotta lose to persevere.
             G                 Em
But it's the way the sun will rise
                      D
Through the darkest night.
                                G      Em B D
Yeah it's always been worth the fight.


[Bridge]

G
Hope, it can make you courageous
Em
It started out small, but now it's contagious.
Am
Strength, it's an honor you earn
D
when you look back and see all the lessons you've learned


[Chorus]

         G                  Em
You gotta fail a thousand times
           B              D
Before you see it through.
          G                 Em
You gotta spend your last dime
            B              D
Before you ever make a million.
           C                    D
You gotta know what brought you here
              C             D
And you gotta lose to persevere.
             G                 Em
But it's the way the sun will rise
                      D
Through the darkest night.
                                G      Em B D
Yeah it's always been worth the fight.

         G                  Em
You gotta fail a thousand times
           B              D
Before you see it through.
          G                 Em
You gotta spend your last dime
            B              D
Before you ever make a million.
           C                    D
You gotta know what brought you here
              C             D
And you gotta lose to persevere.
             G                 Em
But it's the way the sun will rise
                      D
Through the darkest night.
                                G      Em B D
Yeah it's always been worth the fight.
