This Too Shall Pass Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Gm][G][D]
[Bm][A][D][Dm]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][A]
[Bm][D][Bm][A]
[Bm]Well, things change

[Verse 1]
[Bm]
fast, but this too shall pass
Better [A]carve it on your forehead
or tattoo it on your [G]ass
'Cause who can [Bm]tell,
when the [G]clock strikes twelve
[D]If [A]today's become tomorrow
or if it's all just gone to hell

[Verse 2]
My friend makes [Bm]rings,
she swirls and sings
She's [A]a mystic in the sense that she's
still mystified by [G]things
But scared to [Bm]ask,
[D]how can [G]nothing seem to last?
[D]'Cause like a [A]cancer in your body,

[Interlude 1]
it all just goes too fast
[Bm][D][Bm][A]
[Bm][D][Bm][A]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]We think too big,
we think our self is one whole thing
And we [A]claim that this collection
has a name and [G]is a being
But deep in[Bm]side, when every cell [D]divides
Well, it [A]sets upon the rule that states
self-interest is is divine

[Verse 4]
And cancer [A]too [Bm]lives
by this golden rule
That you must [A]do unto the others
as the others [F#]unto you
[Bbdim]All for the b[F#]est,[Bm]
because that's [G]all the life accepts
An[D]d so we [A]kill it like a buffalo,

[Interlude 2]
with awe and with respect
[A][Bm][D][Bm][D][A]
[Bm][D][Bm][A]
[Bm]Well, don't ask

[Verse 5]
[Bm]God,
just holler at the sky
'Cause she'll [A]tell it to you plainly in
the clouds that whisper [G]by
And praise the [Bm]shapes,
and then [G]praise the way they [D]change
And they'll [A]teach you not to pray
to light without you pray to rain

[Verse 6]
So I pray to [Bm]hands and I pray to needs
And I [A]pray to blades of grass to find
forgiveness in [Gdim]the weeds
But [A]as for [Bm]health, I just [G]never did be[D]lieve
And so I nev[A]er prayed myself except to those that

[Interlude 3]
prayed for me
[Bm][D][Bm][A]
[Bm][D][Bm][A]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]The story goes,
or the way that I was told
There was [A]a king that always felt too
high and then he fell too [G]low
And so [Bm]he called all the
[G]wise men to the [D]hall
And he [A]begged them for a gift
to end the rises and the falls
But here's the [Bm]thing,

[Verse 8]
[Bm]
they came back with a ring
It [A]was simple and was plainly
unbe[G]fitting of a king
Engraved [Bm]in black, well,
it had no [G]front or [D]back
But there [A]were words around
the band that said

[Outro 1]
"Just know, this too shall pass"
[Bm][D][Bm][A]
[Bm]
[D][Bm][A]
[Bm][D][Bm][A]
