Intro: G, Cadd9, Em7, D x4 

verse 1: 
G                     Cadd9 
Spring swallowed winter 
Em7                     D 
Like bitter swallows sweet 
G                     
You said you were tired 
               Cadd9 
Of missing the stars 
Em7                  D 
tripping on your feet 
G                         Cadd9 
Iâ??m trying to make it better 
Em7                      D 
Iâ??ve been saying it so long, 
G                           Cadd9 
That things will be better soon 
Em7                 D 
Better soon, I know... 

Cadd9  G      D             G 
Once, twice, three times again 
Cadd9                G               D 
There is no road so far down beyond recovering 
Cadd9  G      D             G 
Once, twice, three times again

There is no road so far down beyond recovering

Beyond recovering 

verse 2: 
           G                  Cadd9 
Youâ??d been holding out for hope 
           Em7                D 
Long after hope, she had let go. 
G                 Cadd9           Em7         D 
Craving, she keeps coming by though 
G            Cadd9 
Doubt holds court 
         Em7             D 
With her small town boasts. 
    G                  Cadd9 
The worst is how sheâ??s familiar, 
          Em7           D 
How sheâ??s comfortable...

Once, twice, three times again 
Cadd9                G               D          D 
There is no road so far down beyond recovering 
Cadd9  G      D             G 
Once, twice, three times again 
Cadd9                G               D          
There is no road so far down beyond recovering 
D       G            Cadd9, Em7, D 
Beyond recovering

verse 3: (finger picked) 
G                     Cadd9 
Spring swallowed winter 
Em7                     D 
Like bitter swallows sweet 
G                     
You said you were tired 
                Cadd9 
Of missing the stars 
Em7                  D 
tripping on your feet 
G                 Cadd9 
Donâ??t mistake for brokenness 
          Em7                D 
What is a fragile state of opening 
   G                     Cadd9 
Of coming out of the night 
     Em7 D 
Into day

There is no road so far down beyond recovering
