Cm                    G#
What you got if you aint got love
D#                 A#
The kind that you just wanna give away
Cm           G#
It's okay to open up
     D#                            A#
Go ahead and let the light shine through
Cm                      G#
I know it's hard on a rainy day
            D#
You wanna shut the world out
     A#
And just be left alone
G#        A#           G#
Don't run out on your faith

Chorus:
    G#         Cm                    A#
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
           Gm       G# Cm A#
Is just a grain of sand
       G#                   Cm             A#
What you've been out there searching for forever,
   Gm       G# Cm A#
Is in your hands
          G#         D#/G         A#
When you figure out love is all that matters,
      Cm
after all
    Gm        G#            A# G#
It sure makes everything else
          D#
Seem so small

It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin' 'round thinkin'
'bout what you can't change
And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flyin' by, movin' so fast
You better make it count 'cause you can't
get it back

Chorus:
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbin'
is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searchin'
for forever is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all
that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbin'
is just a grain of sand
And what you've been out there searchin'
for forever is in your hands
Oh, and when you figure out love is all
that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh, it sure makes everything else
Seem so small

Yeah, yeah
