[Intro]
C A# Am F x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
N.C C
When I grew up
Am FI had big city dreams
CI wondered if the Bible was wrong
Am FWhat the hell were they teaching me?
CI was lost in thought
Am FAnd I could not hide it
CBut the sun - it kept on risin'
Am FSo, I played along
 
 
[Chorus 1]
N.C. C
But now that you're gone and
A#And I write down this song
Am FI don't believe this is how it's meant to be
CThe church bells they ring
A#You can hear the mourners sing
AmThey still believe
FThis is how it's meant to be
 
 
[Verse 2]
CThe wheels touch down
Am FAll I can see is your face
CAmidst the noise of the lights
Am FThe last thing on my mind was my faith
CAnd then the morning came
Am FAnd the sun started rising
CBut I was missing my friend
Am FSo, how Do I carry on?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
CCause now that you're gone and
A#And I write down this song
Am FI don't believe this is how it's meant to be
CThe church bells they ring
A#You can hear the mourners sing
AmThey still believe
FThis is how it's meant to be
 
 
[Bridge]
Am C FLike a mother bird crying out for its young
G FI will sing it loud with all the might in my lungs
 
 
[Chorus 3]
N.C. C
Cause now that you're gone and
A#And I write down this song
Am FI don't believe this is how it's meant to be
CThe church bells they ring
A#You can hear the mourners sing
AmThey still believe
FThis is how it's meant to be
 
 
[Outro]
C A# Am FHey Oh
C A# Am F C*Oh how it's meant to be, yeah
