[Intro]
Em      D A              C
Stories... we all got 'em
[Chorus]
Em         D
We've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

   A                      C
To let the lost know that someone cares

       Em         D
'Cause we've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

    A                          C
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
[Verse 1]
        Em
I never knew that it would feel like this

         C                          D
When the two that raised you up and call it quits

       Em
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness

         C                         D
When the place you call home is closed for business

  Em
I push the pain down, I gotta get by

       C                           D
Always knowin' in my heart that it ain't gonna fly

     Em
Rock bottom's never felt so near before

       C                             D
And if pain is God's megaphone, it's loud and clear

   Em
So hold me now Father, human love ain't enough

     C                             D
I've failed and been failed by the people I love

         Em
But Your faithful arms, they surround me

    C                         D
And any other soul who has to sail those seas

     C             D
Of a broken family
[Chorus]
Em         D
We've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

   A                      C
To let the lost know that someone cares

       Em         D
'Cause we've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

    A                          C
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
[Verse 2]
Em
Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom

C                                     D
Tryin' to look for answers but nobody's got 'em

Em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye

              C                           D
Tryin' not to cry, tellin' me that cancer might cause her to die

Em
How can this be? I thought that God loved me

            C                              D
So why would He try to take my mother from me?

         Em
And as I cried myself to sleep at night, holdin' on my pillow tight

   C                              D
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright

Em
  So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused

    C                        D
I tried to move on and I tried to stay strong

            Em
So put your hands up if y'all are feelin' me

             C
And put your hands up for everyone to see

            Em
So put your hands up, we all a family

            C                        D
So put your hands up, in unity, it's unity
[Chorus]
     Em         D
See, we've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

   A                      C
To let the lost know that someone cares

       Em         D
'Cause we've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

    A                          C
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
[Break]
Em   N.C.
We've been down to the bottom

Em N.C.
    Stories, we got 'em

Em N.C.                         C
    If you been there, put your hands in the air

         D
Put your hands in the air
[Verse 3]
Em                            C
I've been there too when everything falls apart

        Em
And the best you can do is get through each day

            C                          D                          Em
Wonderin', "Will this never end? Is it always gonna be this way?"

                         C
And the greatest lie you ever been told is

           Em               C
You're the only one to ever walk on this road

               Em                   C
And now you'll never see the light of dawn

           Em                 C
So we came together to say (Together to say), "Hold on!"

Em                     C                    Em
  'Cause we've been there and found our way home

          C                           Em
I promise you that you're not on your own

                  C                         Em
One day this will pass, God will see us all through

                       C                    D
God will us all through, God will see us all pass through
[Chorus]
     Em         D
See, we've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

   A                      C
To let the lost know that someone cares

       Em         D
'Cause we've been down to the bottom

A                              C
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

Em                             D
If you've been there, put your hands in the air

    A                          C
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
[Outro]
       Em
'Cause we've been down to the bottom

 C
(Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom) Stories, we got 'em

Em                               C
  If you've been there, put your hands in the air

                                    D
Put your hands in the air, put your hands in the air
