This Too Shall Pass chords by Danny Schmidt

Chords with lyrics

Optional: Switch out E minorEm to GdimGdim wherever you think it fits. Sound more accurate but
really sticks out.

Verse:
          B minorBm
Well things change fast

But this too shall pass
    A augmentedA
Better carve it on your forehead
   E minorEm
Or tattoo it on your ass
       B minorBm
Cause who can tell
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
When the clock strikes twelve
   E minorEm
If today's become tomorrow

Or it's all just gone to hell
        B minorBm
My friend makes rings

She swirls and sings
    A augmentedA
She's a mystic in the sense
         E minorEm
That she's still mystified by things
       B minorBm
But scared to ask
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
"How can nothing seem to last?"
       B minorBm
Cause like a cancer in your body

It all just goes too fast

Instrumental:
B minorBm A augmentedA E minorEm

Verse:
       B minorBm
We think too big

We think our self is one whole thing
    A augmentedA
And we claim that this collection
   E minorEm
Has a name and is a being
      B minorBm
But deep inside
   D MajorD      A augmentedA
When every cell divides
    E minorEm
Well it sets upon the rule that states

Self-interest is divine
      B minorBm
And cancer too

Lives by this golden rule
       A augmentedA
That you must do unto the others
    E minorEm
As the others unto you
      B minorBm
All for the best
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
Cause it's all that life accepts
   E minorEm
So we kill it like a buffalo

With awe and with respect

Verse:
     B minorBm
Don't ask God

Just holler at the sky
       A augmentedA
Cause she'll tell it to you plainly
    E minorEm
In the clouds that whisper by
        B minorBm
And praise the shapes
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
And praise the way they change
      E minorEm
And they'll teach you not to pray to light

Without you pray to rain
       B minorBm
So I pray to hands

And I pray to needs
   A augmentedA
And I pray to blades of grass
      E minorEm
To find forgiveness in the weeds
      B minorBm
But as for health
    D MajorD      A augmentedA
I just never did believe
   E minorEm
So I never prayed myself

Except to those that prayed for me

Verse:
     B minorBm
The story goes

Or the way that I was told
      A augmentedA
There was a king that always felt too high
  E minorEm
And then he fell too low
   B minorBm
So he called
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
All the wise men to the hall
    E minorEm
And he begged them for a gift

To end the rises and the falls
        B minorBm
And here's the thing:

They came back with a ring
    A augmentedA
It was simple and was plainly
  E minorEm
Unbefitting of a king
      B minorBm
Engraved in black
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Well it had no front or back
        E minorEm
But there were words around the band
         E minorEm
