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.
