Matthew West – Hope Returns (Guitar)

[Intro]
             F    C    G    C
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

             F    C    G    Am
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

           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

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
          F   C   G   Am
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

            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

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)

Hold on, 'cause hope returns
          F   C   G   Am
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

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)

That's when hope returns
          F   C   G   Am
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

Hope returns
             F    C    G    C
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
