This Too Shall Pass chords by Danny Schmidt

Optional: Switch out Em to Gdim wherever you think it fits. Sound more accurate but
really sticks out.

Verse:
                   Bm
Well things change fast

But this too shall pass
       A
Better carve it on your forehead
      Em
Or tattoo it on your ass
              Bm
Cause who can tell
         D             A
When the clock strikes twelve
     Em
If today's become tomorrow

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

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

It all just goes too fast

Instrumental:
Bm A Em

Verse:
             Bm
We think too big

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

Self-interest is divine
           Bm
And cancer too

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

With awe and with respect

Verse:
          Bm
Don't ask God

Just holler at the sky
             A
Cause she'll tell it to you plainly
       Em
In the clouds that whisper by
               Bm
And praise the shapes
    D                   A
And praise the way they change
            Em
And they'll teach you not to pray to light

Without you pray to rain
             Bm
So I pray to hands

And I pray to needs
      A
And I pray to blades of grass
           Em
To find forgiveness in the weeds
           Bm
But as for health
       D           A
I just never did believe
     Em
So I never prayed myself

Except to those that prayed for me

Verse:
          Bm
The story goes

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

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

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