• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: A

Intro:

A D Dm

Verse:
A
If you told me back then it would take me this long to get
D             Dm
somewhere, i probably wouldn't have tried
A
if you told me how much i'd be hurt
D             Dm
on the way, i probably wouldn't have tried

F#m              D                  A
but the thing is i didn't know what i didn't know
E                      D                   A
and i suppose it helped not to know what i couldn't have known,
           E
but know now

Pre-Chorus:
    Bm               D                      A
and slowly but surely i see the turn of the tide
      F#m     F#m7       Bm
i can feel it in my  bones
                       D                           E
every stone that i've thrown made a ripple and it all came to light

Chorus:
F#m F#m7 D A Bm E
overnight
A E F#m F#m7 D E
overnight
      Bm                   A        E
oh it takes so long, but it happens overnight

A D Dm

Verse:
A                                                                   D
and we're far from the place where we laugh in the face of the struggle
    Dm
and maybe we'll never arrive
A                                             D
but before we need more we're ashore on this island
                   Dm
and i've found the reason i think i'm alive

F#m                D                          A
and it's true that all that i know came from having to grow
     A Bm    A    C#m F#m
and hindsight makes it sweet
                       D
when the bitter taste lasted so long,
     A                 E
but gave me a song to sing

Pre-Chorus:
    Bm               D                      A
and slowly but surely i see the turn of the tide
      F#m     F#m7      Bm
i can feel it in my  bones
                       D                           E
every stone that i've thrown made a ripple and it all came to light

Chorus:
F#m F#m7 D A Bm E
overnight
A E F#m F#m7 D E
overnight

Bridge:
            D                  A
She built a boat to travel the seas
            D
and now as i reach for the anchor
                                A
i'll nod and i'll thank her and hope for a friendlier breeze
              Dmaj7           F#m
and i wont be scared cause i realize
     Dmaj7                  Bm
that all of your dreams as wild as it seems
    E
can materialize

A E F#m F#m7 D E
overnight
       F#m                   A        E        A
ooh it takes so long, but it happens overnight
