A                            D                 A
We’re all standing with our backs against the wall
E
Sooner or later
A              D               A        E
Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all
A                  D                  A
Heartbreak comes, rollin’ in like a storm
 E
Sooner or later
  A                        D
Trying to swim but you’re sinking like
   A       E
a stone, alone

               F#m           D            A
And I can feel fire in the night waiting here
           E                       F#m
Baby it’s like we’re walking on a wire
             D
through the fear
Take my hand, we’ll get there

Chorus:
 E             A        D                   F#m
Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it,
we’re gonna make it,
 E             A        D                   F#m
Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it,
we’re gonna make it
E                     A
Milk and honey ’til we get our fill
D                   F#m
I’ll keep chasing it, I always will
E              A
Sooner or later, I swear
D
We’ll make it there
E
Sooner than later

We’re all waiting on a dream that’s hard
to own, sooner or later
Trying to feel the high without the low, you know

You can feel fire in the night lying here
Baby it’s like we’re walking on a
wire through the fear
Take my hand, we’ll get there

Chorus:
Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it,
we’re gonna make it,
Sooner or later, I swear we’re gonna make it,
we’re gonna make it
Milk and honey ’til we get our fill
I’ll keep chasing it, I always will
Sooner or later, I swear
We’ll make it there
Sooner than later

     F#m              D
The fear inside, the hills we’ve climbed
     A
The tears this side of
E       F#m              D
heaven, all these dreams inside of me
    A                E
I swear we’re gonna get there

Sooner or later, we're gonna make it

Chorus:
Sooner or later, I know, I swear we're gonna make it
We're gonna make it
Sooner or later, I swear we're gonna make it
We're gonna make it

Milk and honey till we get our fill
I'll keep chasing it, I always will
Sooner or later, I swear we'll make it there
Sooner than later
The fear inside the hills we've climbed
The tears this side of heaven
All these dreams inside of me
I swear we're gonna get there

The fear inside the hills we've climbed
The tears this side of heaven
All these dreams inside of me
I swear we're gonna get there
