D
When it feels like
       A
everything you've built
   Bm              A
Is busting at the seams
              G
and soon will all
       A       D
come crashing down
Build support or start
        A
from scratch again
Bm             A
Move ahead to find
           G
your way around

          Bm
Cause the route that you
took was misleading
         A
and you made some mistakes
                        G
on your way last time around
                A
So here's your second chance to

Chorus:
D
Be strong up against attack
A
Just know you can
                Em
always build it back
And even the hardest times
  G             A        D A Em G A
eventually will always pass

D
Use the wreckage
      A
as a starting point
Bm             A
Or move on and build again
    G            A     D
somewhere you've never been
End result will be
    A
the same each way
Bm              A         G
Play it safe or reinvent again

          Bm
Cause the route that you
took was misleading
         A
and you made some mistakes
                        G
on your way last time around
                A
So here's your second chance to

Chorus:
D
Be strong up against attack
A
Just know you can
                Em
always build it back

And even the hardest times
 G              A
eventually will pass in
D
Sometimes it can seem unfair
A
But nothing will change
              Em
just standing there
Every battle that's worth
         G                A
fighting had to start somewhere

                   Em
And there's always two
                       A
sides with different ideas
                     Em
And compromise isn't easy
              A
It seems the cycle never ends
                  Em
But you know it's alright
               A
to sit for a while
and think about
          Em
where you went wrong
             A
If you just get back up again and

Chorus:
D
Be strong up against attack
A
Just know you can
                Em
always build it back

And even the hardest times
 G              A
eventually will pass in
D
Sometimes it can seem unfair
A
But nothing will change
              Em
just standing there
Every battle that's worth
          G                 D  A Em
fighting had to start somewhere
G               A
move ahead and find a new way
