[Intro]
 D/ |  A-  Bm7// |  D/ |  A-  Bm7//
[Verse 1]
Sometimes Dwhat you need is Awhat yoBm7u fight
Like a Dwounded man out Aon the Grun
Like Dshadows hiding Afrom the Bm7light 
But your Glove is what I was Arunning Dfrom
Hope’s a seed you Ahave to Bm7sow
When you Dlet it go it Acomes to Glife
So you Dstretch your arrows Aon the Bm7bow
And you Gpull them back and Awatch them Dfly
[Chorus]
My Gheartbeat, my Aoxygen
My Gbanner, my Ahome
My Gfuture, my Asong
Your Ghope is the anthem Aof my Dsoul, Aoh whoBm7a          D  Aoh whoBm7a
[Verse 2]
My Dlungs and I were Aborn to fBm7ight
Sometimes DI’m not sure what I’m Afighting Gfor
But Ddeath ain’t the only Aend in Bm7sight
’Cause Gthis ain’t a battle it’s a Alifelong Dwar
[Chorus]
My Gheartbeat, my Aoxygen
My Gbanner, my Ahome
My Gfreedom, my Asong
Your Ghope is the anthem of my Dsoul, Aoh whoBm7a
   D  A(Oh whoa) Your Ghope is the anthem of my Dsoul, Aoh whoBm7a G  A  
[Bridge]
My Gheart is beating like a blown spDeaker
The Aspirit is willing but the flesh is Bm7weaker
A disGtortion pedal and a pair of Dwings
                              A        D   A-     Bm7     D   A- Bm7  
And an anthem played on broken strings
[Chorus]
My Gheartbeat, my Aoxygen
My Gbanner, my Ahome
My Gfuture, my Asong
Your Ghope is the anthem
Yeah, Your Ghope is the anthem of my soul
(Your Dhope is the anthem Aof my Bm7soul)
(Your Dhope is the anthem Aof my Gsoul)
(Your Dhope is the anthem Aof my Bm7soul)
(Your Ghope is the anthem Aof my Dsoul)
[Outro]
 DYeah, could you make me whole
 DYeah, could you make me whole
 DYeah, could you make me whole
