Higher Hopes

Em Am G6 Am Em
Em Am G6 Am Em

[Verse 1]
G6                                   Am
You hold my heart fragile in your hands
                                  Em
These minutes count like hours now
                            Am Em
And every day brings this closer

[Verse 2]
G6                              Am
It took a while to clear my head
                           Em
Went out for hours and wept
                                Am    Em
for everything that I couldn’t know yet

[Verse 3]
G6             Am                   Em
As I lay this life in these hands now
Em                      Am      Em
Don’t you break these hearts of mine
G6          Am
And I brace myself
              Em                                     Am G6
I will brace myself for everything that I don’t know yet

[Interlude]
Em Bm          Am Bm
   Uh uh    Uh uh
Em
Uh uh

[Bridge]
Em                            Bm
It’s really been no time at all
                                 Am
But every hour feels like days now
          Bm               Em
This is a life I’d bargain for
Em
Uh uh

[Outro]

          Higher

These moments slip through our fingers like grains of sand
G
Never to be lived again (Higher)
G
Mere reflections of their eternal worth
G
Echoes that sound on long after we are gone (Higher)
Bm
Am I to believe that there is more to this
Bm
As I stand before you here with open arms (You leave me holding on to higher...)
Am                             D
Facing up to nothing less than higher hopes and higher hopes
