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       E
That I should still be here
                             A
Maybe just a glimpse of the light
                F#m
A patch of blue sky
                E       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

A
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

D        A       E
And 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

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

A
And I said hold up
                    F#m
It's alright if you don't see, open up your eyes
        D                        E
If you fall down I will pick you up [x2]
