Am
Hey, heard you were up all night
G
Thinking about how your world ain't right
Em                                             D
And you wonder if things will ever get better
Am
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
G
When all you want is just a little good news
Em                                             D
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

Am
Oh, don't hang your head, It's gonna end
G
God's right there
Em
Even if it's hard to see Him
D
I promise you that He still cares

Chorus:
Am
When the waves are taking you under
G
Hold on just a little bit longer
Em                                              D
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
Am
The pain ain't gonna last forever
G
And things can only get better
Em
Believe me
                              D
This is gonna make you stronger
                        Am                    G         Em
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
D
Believe me, this is gonna make you ...

Am
Try and do the best you can
G
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
Em                                          D
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Am
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
G
God's right there
Em
Even when you just can't feel Him
D
I promise you that He still cares

Bridge:
Am                          C
'Cause if He started this work in your life
G
He will be faithful to complete it
D
If only you believe it
Am                            C
He knows how much it hurts
G                                                              D
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this

Chorus:
Am
When the waves are taking you under
G
Hold on just a little bit longer
Em                                              D
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
Am
The pain ain't gonna last forever
G
And things can only get better
Em
Believe me
                              D
This is gonna make you stronger
                        Am                    G         Em
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
D
Believe me, this is gonna make you stronger
