F           Am                 G
Until your heartbeat hurts no more
Until your feet lift off the floor
Until they get the best of you
You must keep on climbing through

Chorus:
             F  Am
The rope is long
                    G
There's no turning back
But the rope is strong
So never look back

Until your heartbeat hurts no more
Until you feel no pain at all
Don't let go till I reach for you
They say the best way out is through

Chorus

              F        Am
When you're climbing, crying
G
Reaching for the open sky
      F            Am            G
I'll find you and pull you out alive

Chorus

The rope is long
But the rope is strong
