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                                    Ab
Thinking maybe it's the hope inside 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]
     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                                     Db
Singing hallelujah while we wait (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                                     Gb
I'm leaving what is lost behind to find the light
           Ebm                                   Ab
Oh, 'cause maybe it's the hope inside that comes alive
                 Db
When it's all we have left
