D G D A
[Verse 1]
D G
Six weeks is all you've got
Bm A
That's what they told her yesterday
Em Bm
She thought that she'd be in a white dress
D A
Instead of this hospital gray
D G
Six months ago today
Bm A
Is when he asked her for her hand
Em Bm
And now beneath fluorescent lights
D A
She's in a battle she can't win
N.C.
And she cries
[Chorus]
D G
Hope is all I need
Bm A
I'm broken and on my knees
D G
So where is God tonight?
Bm A
I'm waiting, waiting for love to arrive
[Verse 2]
D G
Six years out on the street
Bm A
Not a dollar to his name
Em Bm
He was happy once before he
D A
Slowly drank it all away
D G
Like a sail without the wind
Bm A
He's a man that's lost at sea
Em Bm
All he wants to be is dry
D A
But all he ever does is sink
N.C.
And he cries
[Chorus]
D G
Hope is all I need
Bm A
I'm broken and on my knees
D G
So where is God tonight?
Bm A
I'm waiting, waiting for love to arrive
[Bridge]
Em A
Six hours on a tree
D
Hung the God of innocence
Bm
It wasn't fair that he should die
G
For someone else's sin
A
So when we wonder if He cares
Bm
Just remember He's been there
G A
So yes, He loves us
[Chorus]
D G
When hope is all we need
Bm A
We find it on our knees
D G
Where doubts give way to sight
Bm
He's been here
A G D
While we're waiting for love to arrive
