Verse 1:
Em7                                              Am7  
        I never knew that it would feel like this
                 Em7                     Am7
        when the two that raised you and call it quits.
                Em7                              Am7
        Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
                                            D
        when the place you call home is closed for business.
                    Em7                    Am7
        I push the pain down I gotta get by,
                 Em7                        Am7
        always knowin' in my heart that it aint gonna fly.
              Em7                      Am7
        Rock bottom's never felt so near before,
                                             D
        and if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear.
           Em7                        Am7
        So hold me now, Father, human love aint enough.
             Em7                            Am7
        I've failed and been failed by the people I love.
                 Em7                      Am7
        But Your faithful arms, they surround me
                                       D                   Am7
        and any other soul who has to sail those seas of a broken family
          D      Bm7

Chorus:
      Em7        Bm7
See, we've been down to the bottom.
Am7                        Bm7
Stories, we got'em when we hit rock bottom.
Em7                         Bm7
If you been there, put your hands in the air,

to let the lost know that someone cares.

'Cause we've been down to the bottom.

Stories, we got'em when we hit rock bottom.

If you been there, put your hands in the air,

and let somebody know that the Most High cares.

Verse:
         Em7                            Am7                        
         Been so many times that I been close to rock bottom,
         Em7                            Am7
         tryin' to look for answers but nobody's got'em.
         Em7                               Am7
         Like the time my mother looked me in the eye,
                                                   D
         tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die.
         Em7                            Am7    
         How can this be? I thought the God love me.
         Em7                            Am7
         So why would He try to take my mother from me?
                  Em7     
         And as I cry myself to sleep at night,
         Am7
         holding on my pillow tight,
                                            D                   
         he spoke to me and said the everything gonna be all right.
      Em7                    Am7      
         So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused.
           Em7                   Am7
         I try to move on and I try to stay strong.
                      Em7                  Am7
         So put your hands up if y'all are feelin' me.
                                        D
         And put your hands up for ev'ryone to see.
                     Am7 
         So put your hands up. We all a family.
                      D           Bm7
         So put your hands up in unity, in unity.

Bridge:
        Em7 
        We've been down to the bottom!

        Stories we got'em!
                                     Am7
        If you been there, put your hands in the hair,
                 Bm7
        put your hands in the air.

Verse 3:
        Em7          Am7
        I've been there too,
                    Em7
        when ev'rything falls apart,
                Am7                  Em7          Am7
        and the best you can do is get through each day,

        wonderin' will this never end?
               D                   Em7
        Is is always gonna be this way?
                          Am7                    Em7
        And the greastest lie you ever been told
                                  Am7
        is you're the only one to walk this road.       
                        Em7                        Am7
        And now you'll never see the light of dawn,
                                      D                   Em7
        so we came together to say( together to say) hold on.
                            Am7                    Em7  
        'Cause we've been there and found our way home.
                     Am7                       Em7
        We promise you that you're not on your own.
                          Am7            D       
        One day this will pass, God will see us all through.
Am7                                D                 B7
        God will see us all           pass through.

Closing:
Em7                              Am7
If you been there, put you your hands in the air,
          B7
put your hands in the air, put your hands in the air.
