This Too Will Pass

Peter Himmelman


Tom: G

         C     G      D   Em
Like the river flows
         C         G      D   Em
Like the east wind blows
              C         G   D     Em               C     G   D   Em
You’re gonna’ find your situation changin’ for the better

         C       G    D   Em
Like the melting snow
              C        G   D  Em
Just let your troubles go
       C       G      D           Em     C     G   D  Em
‘Cause you and I will get through this together


[Chorus]

G    D            Em         C
Some days seem to drag on forever
    G             D                Em               C
You need all your strength just to keep your head together
G           D              Em         C         Em
Soon you’ll see things are gonna’ get better at last
     C        G    D   Em
This too will pass

C    G   D  Em


[Verse]

       C         G    D   Em
Like a sprouting seed
            C            G    D   Em
You’ll grow through this need
        C           G         D           Em    C      G   D   Em
And the things that bring you grief shall be forgotten
        C   G     D    Em
Like an hourglass
     C        G    D   Em
This too will pass
           C       G         D       Em      C      G   D  Em
And what’s hard as rock will soon be soft as cotton



[Chorus]

G    D            Em         C
Some days seem to drag on forever
    G             D                Em               C
You need all your strength just to keep your head together
G           D              Em         C         Em
Soon you’ll see things are gonna’ get better at last
     C        G    D   Em
This too will pass
     C        G    D   Em
This too will pass
     C        G    D   Em
This too will pass
     C        G    D   Em
This too will pass


[Bridge]

    Am                           G
You feel like you’ve been chosen
                D     D
To be frozen in time
     Am
Your body is exhausted
    G                          D      D
You feel that you’ve lost your mind


[Verse]

          C         G    D   Em
But these eyes they see
            C      G     D   Em
That you’re nearly free
               C         G      D        Em           C      G    D   Em
And if you can hang on a little longer I swear you’ll see it too
       C         G       D   Em
Well a prophet I ain’t
   C         G      D     Em
No mystic or saint
      C       G      D     Em     C       G      D   Em
But I promise you my angel I will see you through


[Chorus]

G    D            Em         C
Some days seem to drag on forever
    G             D                Em               C
You need all your strength just to keep your head together
G           D              Em         C         Em
Soon you’ll see things are gonna’ get better at last
         C        G    D    Em
For This too must pass
     C        G      D    Em
This too will pass
     C        G      D    Em
This too will pass
     C        G
This too will pass
