Am G D
[Verse 1]
G
Life's a strain, a painful thing
G7 C
To be overcome
C G
We mark the miles by our triumphs
D
And suffer everyone
G
But I'll hold them near and keep them dear
G7 C
And don't be ashamed
[Chorus]
D Em
The trials of the world
F C G
Are all heaven's pearls
D Em
The trials of the world
F C G
Are all heaven's pearls
[Instrumental]
C G D
[Verse 2]
G
We gathered scars from tangled bars
G7 C
They catch under the skin
G
The friction burns as they turn
D
Working deeper in
G
But day by day the sharp edges fade
G7 C
Smooth, burnished and fine
[Chorus]
D Em
The trials of the world
F C G
Are all heaven's pearls
D Em
The trials of the world
F C G
Are all heaven's pearls
[Interlude]
Am G
Am G D
G
G7 C
[Chorus]
D Em
The trials of the world
F C G
Are all heaven's pearls
D Em
The trials of the world
F C G
Are all heaven's pearls
