Intro:

Am Am

Verse 1:
Am             F
On the day you thought
            C
This is the end
                   E7
But it wasn't your time to go down the street
Am               F
Days went on and on
                C
Pretending it's gone
             Em
And we never ever talked about it

Pre-Chorus:
Am                             Dm
'Cause lions don't know how to cry
             C                     Em
And weakness is our essence in the game
Am                       Fm
And I don't even dare to ask
        C                         Em
How you are, I can see it in your eyes

Chorus:
     F            C
It's whole lot of pain
            G               Am  Gm
When you're caught up under elephant's weight
    F      C             Em
And no one else seems to know
    F        C
But you rise again
      G             Am
Every time you keep holding on
F        C                  Em
I apologize, never heard me say
              F
It's gonna be okay

Verse 2:
Am            F
Who taught us to
             C
Be quiet and still
                  Em7
If you raise your hand
Em7
Can anyone see
Am          F
An illusion breaks
             C
And curtains fall
          Em            Em7
You can't control it anymore

Pre-Chorus:
Am                   F
Now anyone can see inside
         C               Em
What you feel and try to hide

Chorus:
     F            C
It's whole lot of pain
            G               Am  Gm
When you're caught up under elephant's weight
    F      C             Em
And no one else seems to know
    F        C
But you rise again
      G             Am
Every time you keep holding on
F        C                  Em
I apologize, never heard me say
              F
It's gonna be okay

F C G Am

F      C             Em
No one else seems to know
     F        C
That you rise again
      G             Am
Every time you keep holding on
F        C                  Em
I apologize, never heard me say
              F
It's gonna be okay
