The Hope Inside

 Db
Running with my eyes closed
Db
Weary flesh and bone
Db
I can feel the fire
Db
Burning in my lungs


[Chorus 1]
 Bbm
Maybe there's a reason why
         Db
My heart pounds inside my chest
       Fm
Saying it's okay to take your time
        Ab
Slow it down, you just need rest
          Bbm
I've been holding on with all my 
might
        Db
But can hardly catch my breath
         Fm                        
Thinking maybe it's the hope inside
            Ab
 that comes alive
                 Db
When it's all we have left


[Verse 2]
Db
Dancing with the ocean
Db
Caught up in the tide
Db
I can feel the motion
Db
Pull me out to the cold and darker 
side, ooh-ooh


[Chorus 2]
Continues after the ad
     Bbm
But maybe there's a reason why
      Db
I get dragged beneath the surface
      Fm
Every kick against the current I
          Ab
Sink down deeper and I ask myself
         Bbm
Is there something more than meets 
the eye
           Db
That makes all these troubles worth 
it?
   Fm
Or could it be the hope inside
           Ab
That comes alive
              Db
When it's all we have left?
Db
When it's all we have left?


[Bridge 1]
      Db
It's alright
           Ab
Yeah, it's okay
        Ebm
If this all
      Gb
Stays the same
     Bbm
Old dreams will die
    Gb  Ab
New dreams will grow
      Ebm
But I just want
    Gb
A hand to hold
    Db
A hand to hold


[Bridge 2]
Db
We are the flowers that are ready 
for rain
Ab
Waiting on the water to restore what
 remains
Ebm
Wilted hearts harmonize together in 
pain
Gb                                
Singing hallelujah while we wait 
     Db
(A hand to hold)
Db
Echoing voices from inside of the 
hall
Ab
Spray-painted pictures on the side 
of the wall
Ebm
Looking for meaning in the midst of 
it all
Gb                              Db
Are we even listening anymore?


[Chorus 3]
 Bbm
Maybe there's a reason why
           Ab
This world spins around in circles
          Ebm
Like it's giving us another try
         Gb                   Db
Every sunrise to find purpose
            Bbm
Has it been happening all this time
             Db
Like another breath that goes 
unnoticed?
    Fm                             
I'm leaving what is lost behind to 
        Gb
find the light
           Ebm                
Oh, 'cause maybe it's the hope 
                   Ab
inside that comes alive
                 Db
When it's all we have left
