C      F G           C
I felt the ocean,   closing in around me,
F       G              C         F         G              C
  I was lost and I was drowning,   I could hear the water pounding,
   F        G         Am                            Em
surrounding me. I was swallowed up in my despair, a pain I've never known;
        Am                          G
oh, I'm sinking but I'm not made of stone.

[Chorus]
               C             G               Am                 F
Now hold on to hope I'm not alone, I know my faith will take me home,
    G                              F    G
and I'm gonna fight, harder than I cry. Yeah.
         C                   G             Am            F
Love is enough, I won't give up, I'm gonna hold my head above,
    Em                                  F      G
I believe that even through the darkest night:   the sun will [Interlude] rise.

[Verse 2]
          C      F G                      C
I get the notion   now and then that it's too late,
F           G              C           F         G                 C
oh, and the world can be a cruel place   but I'm holding out for a new day.
  F         G                 Am
I break the chain, oh, 'cause I can feel the darkness lift;
    Em                            Am                               G
the truth is gonna shine, oh, and up till then I know that I'll survive.

[Chorus]
               C             G               Am                 F
Now hold on to hope I'm not alone, I know my faith will take me home,
    G                              F    G
and I'm gonna fight, harder than I cry. Yeah.
         C                   G             Am            F
Love is enough, I won't give up, I'm gonna hold my head above,
    Em                                  F      G
I believe that even through the darkest night:   the sun will [Interlude] rise.

[Bridge]
     F            G            Am             G
When I open up my eyes and I'm looking to the sky
      F               G         F      F     G      G
and I know that it's about that time.

[End-Chorus]
               C             G               Am                 F
Now hold on to hope I'm not alone, I know my faith will take me home,
