[Intro]
G G7sus4/F Em G C/G
G G7sus4/F
Em
G C/G G
When I grew up
[Verse 1]
Em
I had big city dreams
C/G
I wondered if the Bible was wrong
G Em
What the hell were they teachin' me?
C/G
I was lost in thought
G
And I could not hide it
Em C/G
But the sun, it kept on rising
G
So I played along
Em C/G G
But now that you're gone
[Chorus]
G7sus4/F
And I write down this song
Em
I don't believe
C/G
This is how it's meant to be
G
The church bells, they ring
G7sus4/F
You can hear the mourners sing
Em
They still believe
C/G
This is how it's meant to be
G
The wheels touch down
[Verse 2]
Em C/G
All I can see is your face
G
Amidst the noise of thе lights
Em C/G
The last thing on my mind was my faith
G
And then the morning camе
Em
And the sun started rising
C/G G
But I was missing my friend
Em
So how do I carry on?
C/G G
'Cause now that you're gone
[Chorus]
G7sus4/F
And I write down this song
Em
I don't believe
C/G
This is how it's meant to be
G
The church bells, they ring
G7sus4/F
You can hear the mourners sing
Em
They still believe
C/G
This is how it's meant to be
[Interlude]
Em G
Like a mother bird crying out for its young
Dadd11/A C/G
I will sing out loud with all the might in my lungs
G
'Cause now that you're gone
[Chorus]
G7sus4/F
And I write down this song
Em
I don't believe
C/G
This is how it's meant to be
G
The church bells, they ring
G7sus4/F
You can hear the mourners sing
Em
They still believe
C/G
This is how it's meant to be
How
[Outro]
G G7sus4/F Em
C/G G
Oh, how it's meant to be, yeah
