The Vow

Tom: C

Dm              Em              Am              Am
Dm              Em              Am              Am

[Verse]
F       Em          Am     Dm     Em        Am
Hold on tight as we dive into the deep, and be my guiding light
Am               Dm                  F       G        Am
We’ve learned to breath and see that we will be alright

[Intro]
Dm              Em              Am              Am

[Verse]
F       Em        Am      Dm          Em           Am
We will laugh and sing on most of our days, but on some, we’ll feel the weight
Am                 Dm               F        G        Am
And that’s when we might forget the sun will rise again
C               G

[Chorus]
C            G          Em          Em
The step most courageous may always seem the first one
C                G        Em            Am
But the step most important will always be the next one

[Break]
F       Em      Am      Dm      Em              Am
Dm              Em              Am              Am

[Verse]
F       Em     Am       Dm       Em         Am
How and why we love and hurt and dream; the choice is ours to make
Am                Dm          F       G        Am
But it’s not what we achieve, but the path we take

[Pre-Chorus]
F         F       Em            Dm
Stay true to your heart and our bond this journey shapes
F              F             Em            Dm
Our feet won’t always move ahead; we will stumble, fall, and fail

[Chorus]
C              G          Em              Em
The vow most important is that we grow together
C                G             Em       Am
The step most important is the next one; and if we must
Dm                    Em                Am               Am
Fall, each time we’ll rise together in stride (stay true to your heart)
C              G      Em          Em
The vow most important is that we will do better

[Bridge]
F       Em      Am      Dm       G              Dm      G
Dm              Em               G              Dm      G
F       Em      Am      Dm       G              Dm      G
Dm              Em               G              Dm      G

[Pre-Chorus]
F       F         Em        Dm
We’ll accept this pain, but not that we deserve it
F   F          Em        Dm
Failure is the mark of a life well lived

[Chorus]
C              G          Em              Em
The vow most important is that we grow together
C                G             Em       Am
The step most important is the next one; and if we must
Dm                    Em                Am               Am
Fall, each time we’ll rise together in stride (stay true to your heart)
C              G      Em          Em
The vow most important is that we will do better

[Reprise]
C           G         Em          Em
The vow most important is that we will do better
C           G         Em          Em
The vow most important is that we rise together
C           G         Em          Em
The vow most important is that we walk together
C           G         Em          Em
The vow most important is that we grow together
C           G         Em          Em
The vow most important is that we will do better
