Intro:
Cadd9  G  Cadd9  G  D  Cadd9  
G


Cadd9                               G
Did you ever wake up in an hour of darkness,
Cadd9                               G
on a boat, prevailing winds at your back.
D                               Cadd9
Sunny, faded picture from your memory.
Cadd9                  G
Jagged ridge for your path.

Cadd9                                         G
Were you lost inside the dream of another's choosing?
Cadd9                                    G
Did the rhythm of your days become your foe?
D                                    Cadd9
Were countless hours of pity like a blanket
Cadd9                                   G
that covered up the daylight from your soul?

Cadd9   G     D Dsus4  Cadd9   G   
 D Dsus4  Cadd9      G (two down strokes)
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.

Cadd9                                       G
Were you hopeless at the thought of ever loving?
Cadd9                                   G
Were you hounded by the curses in the dark?
D                                       Cadd9
Did you ever give until you just quit feeling;
Cadd9                       G
a castaway with a bottled heart..

Cadd9                                       G
Did you ever think the worst was bound to happen,
Cadd9                              G
the river rise and waters of the flood..
D                                  Cadd9
Yeah, Honesty, another name for Heartache,
Cadd9                                     G
and Fear, like starlight, shining from above.

Cadd9   G     D Dsus4  Cadd9   G   
 D Dsus4  Cadd9      G (two down strokes)
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.

[interlude]  Cadd9  G  D  Dsus4

(strum once in the final verse)
Cadd9                                  G
Are you in the eleventh hour of your desperation?
Cadd9                                                  G
Can you dig through the tunnel and break through the night?
D                                       Cadd9
Are you ready for the loosening of your chains
Cadd9                                  G
that kept you in the shadows in your time..

Cadd9   G     D Dsus4  Cadd9   G   
 D Dsus4  Cadd9   G     D Dsus4
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh,
Cadd9   G     D Dsus4  Cadd9       
(two down strokes)
halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
