Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
It's [G]a mighty world we live in
But the truth is,
We're only [D]passin' thru

[Interlude 1]
[G]
[Gm][G]

[Verse 2]
Well I have [G]stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
I have wrestled with the devil
I have [Bb]wrestled with my [C]pride

[Verse 3]
I have [G]been down in the valley
have stood out in the rain
I have seen my love forsaken
[Gm]Felt [G]the [Bb]pleasure and [C]the pain

[Verse 4]
There's [C]one thing that's
for certain
There's one chord that
[G]ring[Gm]s true[G]
Well it's a [D]mighty world we live in
But the [C]truth is,
we're [D]only passin' thru

[Interlude 2]
[G][Gm][G][Gm]

[Verse 5]
I have [Gm]cried in tears of [G]sadness
cried in tears of joy
I have [Gm]found a life worth livin'
From the [Bb]peace within the [C]noise

[Verse 6]
I have [Gm]turned my back on [G]hatred
Lyin', prejudice, and greed
Found the future in the present
Found [Bb]hope within [C]a seed

[Verse 7]
But there's [C]one thing
that's for certain
There's one chord that
[G]rings [Gm]true[G]
[Gm]It's a [D]mighty world we live in
But the [C]truth is,
we're [D]only [G]passin' thru

[Verse 8]
[G]
Passin' [C]thru, passin' [G]thru[Gm]
It's a [D]mighty world we live
in but the [C]truth is
We're [D]only [G]passin' thru

[Interlude 3]
[G][Gm][G]
[Gm][G]
[C][G]
[D][C][D][G]
[Gm]I have seen

[Verse 9]
my bucket empty
Seen my well run [G]dry
But there's wa[Gm]ter [G]down the road
And I'm [Bb]only goin' [C]by

[Verse 10]
If I'm [G]settin' on dead- ready
When my [Gm]chances come [G]to knock
I'll make it where I'm goin'
Standing [Bb]tall just like a [C]rock

[Verse 11]
But there's [C]one thing
that's for certain
There's one chord that
ring[Gm]s tr[G]ue
It's a [D]wicked world we live in
But the [C]truth is,
we're [D]only passin' [G]thru

[Verse 12]
[G]
Passin' [C]thru,
passin' [G]thru[Gm][G][Gm]
It's a [D]mighty world we live
in but the [C]truth is
We're [D]only [G]passin' thru

[Verse 13]
[G]
Yeah, it's a [D]mighty world we
live in but the [C]truth is
We're [D]only [G]passin' thru

[Verse 14]
[G]
I have stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
I have [G]wrestled with the devil
I have wrestled with my pride
[C]I have

[Verse 15]
[G]been [Gm]down in the valley
I [G]have stood out in the [Gm]rain
I have seen my [G]love for[Gm]saken
Felt the pleasure and the pain

[Verse 16]
I have [Gm]cried in [G]tears of sad[Gm]ness[G]
I have [G]cried in tears of joy
I have found a life worth livin'

[Verse 17]
From the peace within the noise
[G]I have turned my back on h[Gm]atred
Lyin', [G]prejudice, [Gm]and gr[Gm]eed
Found the [Gm]future [G]in the present
Found hope [Gm]within a seed

[Verse 18]
[Gm]I ha[G]ve seen my bucket empty
I have seen my [Gm]well run dry
[G]But there's water down the road
And I'm only goin' by

[Verse 19]
If I'm [G]settin' on dead- ready
When my chances come to knock
I'll make it where I'm goin'
Standing tall just like a rock
[C]Passin' thru

[Verse 20]
[G]
Passin' thru
[G]

[Verse 21]
It's a mighty world we live in
[G]But the truth is
We're [G]only passin' thru
