Higher Hopes

Em Am G6 Am Em
Em Am G6 Am Em

[Verse 1]
G6                                
You hold my heart fragile in your 
   Am
hands
                                  Em
These minutes count like hours now
                            Am Em
And every day brings this closer

[Verse 2]
G6                              Am
It took a while to clear my head
                           Em
Went out for hours and wept
                                Am 
for everything that I couldn’t know
   Em
 yet

[Verse 3]
G6             Am                
As I lay this life in these hands
   Em
 now
Em                      Am      Em
Don’t you break these hearts of mine
G6          Am
And I brace myself
              Em                   
I will brace myself for everything 
                  Am G6
that I don’t know yet

[Bridge]
Em                            Bm
It’s really been no time at all
                                 Am
But every hour feels like days now
          Bm               Em
This is a life I’d bargain for
Em
Uh uh
