C , G , D , GVerse 1:
CG
Old man on his way back home
CG
Late from work today
CG
Far out on a dirt road
DEm
And couldn't find his way
CG
With tears in his eyes, he knew
CG
There was no one in sight
CG
And tried to tell himself
DG
That it'll be alright
Chorus:
CEm
Why's it always darkest
G
Right before the dawn
CD
If liars can be honest
G
Then right can be wrong
CEm
And when you find the doorway
GG/FC/E
Are you in or you out
CG
You have to stand up
DEm
Before you fall down
CG
You need to get lost
DG
Before you get found
Interlude (Intro)
Verse 2:
CG
Young girl with a broken heart
CG
Walking home alone
CG
Teardrops made of Maybelline
DEm
On a goodbye note
CG
And looking down at the shadows on the ground
CG
She almost didn't see
CGA blue-eyed man with a flower in his hand
DG
Walkin right out of her dreams
And she said
ChorusBridge:
Em
We're never gonna know it all
Bm
Like houses, we will fall
C
And break in stormy weather
D
And be put back together better
Em
We're never gonna know the way
Bm
Never know which words to say
CC/BAmCD
And don't you worry it'll be okay
Chorus 2:
CEm
Why's it always stormin
G
Right before the calm
CEm
Why are we so lonely

Before it's said and done
