[Verse 1]
Em                    C
It wasn’t supposed to be like this
            G              D
It’s been a roller coaster ride
Em            C
Another short November sun
         G                D
Lights a path through the autumn sky
Em          C
Frozen in a moment
     G            D
Then spiral up or down
Em                C
Trying to hold on steady
       G                      D
Before smashing down into the ground

C      D7          G               Em
Broken hearts will mend >>>>>>>>>>>>
C       D              C         G
You are more than your diagnosis  
C         D7               G
Shattered dreams will live again


[Verse 2]
Em              C     
Head is darting back and forth
            G              D
Swatting at enemies in the air
Em               C
Try to shake the voices
        G                   D
And the things that are not there
Em                C
Running away from memories
            G              D
Through the forest of self-doubt
Em                      C
That grow with winter’s shadow
        G                    D
Looking for the shortest way out


[CHORUS]
C      D7            G               Em

Shattered dreams will live again


[Verse 3]
Em                      C
The words you wrote for comfort
         G                D
Tell the story behind the walls
Em                  C
The lonely road you carved is there
  G                  D
I hear the Blackbird call
Em                   C
He knows someday you will return
        G                D
To that place beside the creek
Em                      C
The naked branch of the sacred tree
          G             D
Will soon bring springs mystique
