[Verse 1]
F        Dm
Wakin' up with this feelin'

Like everyone's figured it out except me

In my head, in my stories

Heart's so heavy I forget to breathe

Determining the future
Gm           Bb
Like anyone knows what's around the bend
C                Dm                        Bb
I can stand still, I can change like the wind
 
 
[Chorus]
Bb                 F     C
This is the way it is now
Dm                       Bb
Even with the darkness nippin' at my heels
      C           Dm               Bb
The goodness is still dancin' me around
                   F     C
This is the way it is now
        Dm                 Bb
It's a hard time, but it's our time
     C                Dm
And someday we'll be looking back

Missin' the way it is now

Loving me through phases

Even the ones I wanna leave behind

Long walks and sunshine

To warm up my blood when I'm down and out

Watchin' thoughts like clouds in my mind
