Atlas Sorrow chords by Sleeping At Last

Tuning: EADGBE

Am         G
It feels like falling.
C  F          C
It feels like rain.
     Am  C      G
Like losing my balance
Em Dm       Am
Ag—ain and again.
    F       Am  G
It once was so easy;
        C           F
Breathe in, breathe out.
           Am      C    G
But at the foot of this mountain,
C F        C
I only see clouds.

  Am          G
I feel out of focus,
C       F        C
Or at least indisposed
           Am        C  G
As this strange weather pattern
 Em Dm          Am
Inside me takes hold.
        F       Am  G
Each brave step forward,
          C           F
I take three steps behind.
      A     C  G
It's mind over matter –
    C  F    C
Matter over mind.


Dm C Am G
Slowly,
Am    G  C  F
then all at once.
   Dm C  Am   G
A single loose thread
Am     G         C   F
And it all comes undone.


Am              G
Where there is light,
C F         C
A shadow appears.
      Am      C  G
The cause and effect
Em   Dm         Am
When life interferes.
      F       Am  G
The same rule applies
    C           F
To goodness and grief;
    Am      C    G
For in our great sorrow
   C     F        C
We learn what joy means.


Dm
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.
G
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.
Am                              G
I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight it.
F
But I will learn to fight, I will


Dm                                 G
'Til this pendulum finds equilibrium.

Dm--C--G

Dm C Am G
Slowly,
Am   G   C  F
then all at once.
    Dm   Am       G
The dark clouds depart,
        Am  G  C  F
And the damage is done.
Dm Am          G
So pardon the dust
           Am  G   C   F
While this all settles in.
       Dm C Am   G
With a broo-oken heart,
        Am  C    F
Transformation begins.
