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.

Are you in the eleventh hour of your desperation?
Cadd9 G
Can you dig through the tunnel and break through the night?

Are you ready for the loosening of your chains
Cadd9 G
that kept you in the shadows in your time..
