verse 1: 
           Am               C 
If I could take what I so believe in 
Dsus2                C                   
Draping its hand in front of me with it all 
Am              C 
And I'm ever reaching 
Dsus2                       G 
Straight from this heart in me 

         Am                C 
It's the tallest I've ever seen it 
Dsus2                    C 
Strange in this place of little dreams 
       Am                 C 
Like a wall in my sure to be things 
Dsus2                G 
Standing in spite of me 
                Am 
It's all I ever wanted 


      F          C       Dsus2 
And I won't give up on a dream 
     C 
It's all or nothing 
    F        C                Dsus2 
The sound of doubt I'll never need 
     G 
It's all or nothing 

verse 2: 
           Am                      C 
If I could blame the right kind of evil 
     Dsus2               C 
Then maybe my fall would be undone 
         Am                  C 
But then why would I build a fable 
   Dsus2             G 
To carry this burden on? 

        Am                   C 
So it's on to write down the sequel 
   Dsus2                C 
As real as it gets with brick and stone 
        Am                     C 
And the heart is not weak, but able 
    Dsus2                    G 
And strong cause I'm holding on 
              Am 
To all I ever wanted 

Chorus 2 (Same as Chorus 1, but repeated twice): 
      F          C       Dsus2 
And I won't give up on a dream 
     C 
It's all or nothing 
    F        C                Dsus2 
The sound of doubt I'll never need 
     G 
It's all or nothing 

      F          C       Dsus2 
And I won't give up on a dream 
     C 
It's all or nothing 
    F        C                Dsus2 
The sound of doubt I'll never need 
     G 
It's all or nothing 

Bridge: 
Am, C, G 

      Am            
And I want it 
  C          G 
I breathe it out 
      Am 
Never needed 
  C       G 
I want it out 
         Am 
Though I want it 
  C          G 
I breathe it out 
      Am 
Never needed 
  C       G 
I want it out 
         Am  
Though I want it 
  C          G 
I breathe it out 

Chorus 3(Same as Chorus 2): 
      F          C       Dsus2 
And I won't give up on a dream 
     C 
It's all or nothing 
    F        C                Dsus2 
The sound of doubt I'll never need 
     G 
It's all or nothing 

      F          C       Dsus2 
And I won't give up on a dream 
     C 
It's all or nothing 
    F        C                Dsus2 
The sound of doubt I'll never need 
     G 
It's all or nothing
