[Intro]
Play Main Riff x 2
Dm
[Chorus]
A
Without the clouds in the sky
Dm
We wouldn't care about the sun when it shines
A
The bad helps to define the good
Dm
The splinter is the cost of the wood
A
So take it all in stride
Dm
Take it all in stride
A
Take it all in stride
[Verse 1]
Dm
I ain't been sober in a month cause I'm losing my conviction
A
At the end of a tunnel filled with all my bad decisions
Dm
I'm learning bad luck is the only kind I got
A
I've been burned, I've been fucked, it's so much harder than I thought
Dm
If I'd just been born in Cali I'd already be a star
A
But I'm from the mid-Atlantic playing reggae in a bar
Dm
And I've been climbing up this hill so god damned long
A
The boy who wrote the lyrics ain't the man singing the songs
[Chorus]
A
Without the clouds in the sky
Dm
We wouldn't care about the sun when it shines
A
The bad helps to define the good
Dm
The splinter is the cost of the wood
A
So take it all in stride
Dm
Take it all in stride
A
Take it all in stride
[Verse 2]
Dm
A Dm
And every single night I turn out the light
Close my eyes and the demons show their face
A
And remind me that I'm about to conclude another day
Dm
Short of where I want to be and with no clue how to get there
A
And failure is a scent that I'm destined to always wear
Dm
Please God if you exist, help me cause it aint fair
A
I'm shouldering a burden and it's more than I can bare
[Chorus] (Partial)
Dm A
So take it all in stride
Dm
Take it all in stride
A
Take it all in stride

Key Change
[Verse 3]
F Bb
Don't doubt the sun is behind the clouds
No matter what you think it outta be about
F
Go tell the one you can't be without
C
That you want to take time to know her better
F
Don't doubt the clouds are temporary
Bb
Holding on to something that you wish you had plenty
F
But its bolted down to the concrete floor
C
You say you want less but I'm giving you more
F
Anyway I could say what you want me to say
Bb
I could recycle all the bullshit and become a cliché
F
I could take back all of my music and make everyone pay
C
I could do this, really do this, in a serious way
F
I wouldn't waste my time
Bb
Looking at the sky
F
When everything I love
C
Is down here on the ground, would you listen to the sound
F
Bumping Uglies
[Chorus]
Bb
Without the clouds in the sky
F
We wouldn't care about the sun when it shines
C
The bad helps to define the good
F
The splinter is the cost of the wood
Bb
So take it all in stride
F
Take it all in stride
C
Take it all in stride
F
Take it all in stride
Bb
Take it all in stride
F
Take it all in stride
C
Take it all in stride
F
