(spoken): Stories. We all got'em.
chorus:
Em7 Bm7
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,
Am7 Bm7
to let the lost know that someone cares.
Em7 Bm7
'Cause we've been down to the bottom.
Am7 Bm7
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 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.
