Em7We've been Bm7down to the bottom.
Am7Stories, we got'em when we Bm7hit rock bottom.
Em7If you been there, put your Bm7hands in the air,

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.

         tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer mDight cause her to die.
         Em7How can this be? I thought the Am7God love me.

         And as I Em7cry myself to sleep at night,

        And the greastest Am7lie you ever been toldEm7  
        is you're the only one to Am7walk this road.       
        And now you'll nEm7ever see the light of dawn,Am7
