Verse 1:
           F      C          G        C
So this is how it feels when standing strong
          F      C    G       Am
Turns?into?barely even holding?on
              F       C        G       C
The plans you had are shattered?on the floor
         G
And your fear tells your faith
                                F
There's no use in praying those prayers anymore

Chorus:
C
   When your world is crashing, when your knees hit the ground
Am
   When your heart is asking, "What do I do now?"
G
  Just when you think it can't get worse
F
   Hold on, that's when hope returns
C
   Like a new sun breaking through the darkest night
Am
   Like a whisper saying, "It'll be alright"
G
   I know you're tired, I know it hurts
F
   But hold on, that's when hope returns
          F   C   G   Am
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

And that's when hope returns

(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)


Verse 2:
            F       C       G     C
I know it's hard to see the other side
                F         C         G          Am
Through all the where are you's and don't know why's
              F          C       G      C
And I know it looks like hope is in the grave
         G
But He's still on the throne, so be still and know
          F
That He's still rolling stones away
