i gave away more than i had
F#m
in a blinding cold , casket black
D
when the sun went down
E
and never did return .
A
like a gasoline on an open flame
F#m
light up so bright , then burn away
D
if i fall apart
E
look the other way

D A E
when all the things i need
F#m E D
feel just like a dream
D A E
and every breath i breathe
D
is so hard

A
well i just want a reason to hope
F#m
a reason to know
E E
that i should still be here
A
maybe just a glimpse of the light
F#m
a patch of blue sky

something to believe in
F#m
i just want a reason to hope
D
a reason to hope
A E
a reason that i should not let go
A F#m E

and it’s hard to say times are bad
F#m
cause it’s been much worse , and i know that
D
but from all i’ve seen
E
these days are awful hard
A
and the prayers come slow for me at first ,
F#m
then the dam broke down , and the rivers surged
D
i Am on my knees
E
wondering what it’s worth

D A E
and all the things i need
F#m E D
feel just like a dream
D A E
and every breath i breathe
D
is so hard
