Introduction:
A
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
That I should still be here
A
Maybe just a glimpse of the light
F#m
A patch of blue sky
E
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
I want a reason to hope

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
