[Verse 1]
D               C 
This is not at all 
Bm                 Am             G 
How we thought it was supposed to be 
    G           Em 
We had so many plans for you 
               C 
We had so many dreams 
    D                C 
And now you've gone away 
    Bm               Cm                G 
And left us with the memories of your smile 
     G      D      Em 
And nothing we can say 
                   C  
And nothing we can do 
          D        C 
Can take away the pain 
    D             C 
The pain of losing you, but... 


[Chorus]
G
We can cry with hope 
       Em7
We can say goodbye with hope 
       C                Cm             G    D
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no 
    G
And we can grieve with hope 
       Em7
'Cause we believe with hope 
          C                  Cm             G
There's a place where we'll see your face again
Em7            C          D  C
We'll see your face again 
 

[Verse 2]
    D           C
And never have I known 
Bm           C             G
Anything so hard to understand 
     D            Em7
And never have I questioned more 
                      C
The wisdom of God's plan 
  Bm              D       C
But through the cloud of tears 
   Gm           Am     D        G
I see the Father smile and say well done 
               Em7
And I imagine you 
                          C
Where you wanted most to be 
        D                    C
Seeing all your dreams come true 
         D           
'Cause now you're home 
                C
And now you're free, and... 


[Chorus]
G
We can cry with hope 
       Em7
We can say goodbye with hope 
       C                Cm             G    D
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no 
    G
And we can grieve with hope 
       Em7
'Cause we believe with hope 
          C                  Cm             F
There's a place where we'll see your face again
G               F
We'll see your face again 
G               F        G
We'll see your face again 


[Bridge]
Em             G          D
 We have this hope as an anchor 
       Am              G  
'Cause we believe that everything 
    Fmaj7              F
God promised us is true, so... 


[Chorus 2]
G 
We can cry with hope 
       Em 
We can say goodbye with hope 
       C                               G    D 
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no 
    G      
And we can grieve with hope 
       Em 
'Cause we believe with hope 
          C   Cm           A        
There's a place by God's grace 
          C                  F             G    Em
There's a place where we'll see your face again  
Am         D          
We'll see your face again 


[Outro]
   G                   Em7
So we can cry with hope 
         C               D  C
And say goodbye with hope 
   D         C
We wait with hope 
       D         C
And we ache with hope 
   D            C
We hold on with hope 
   D           C
We let go with hope
