SWITCHFOOT - HOPE IS THE ANTHEM
Capo 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C G Am
C G Am
[Verse 1]
C G Am
Sometimes what you need is what you fight
C G F
Like a wounded man out on the run
C G Am
Like shadows hiding from the light
F G C
But your love is what I was running from
G Am
Hope’s a seed you have to sow
C G F
When you let it go it comes to life
C G Am
So you stretch your arrows on the bow
F G C
And you pull them back and watch them fly
[Chorus]
F G
My heartbeat, my oxygen
F G
My banner, my home
F G
My future, my song
F G C G Am C G Am
Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa oh whoa
[Verse 2]
C G Am
My lungs and I were born to fight
C G F
Sometimes I’m not sure what I’m fighting for
C G Am
But death ain’t the only end in sight
F G C
’Cause this ain’t a battle it’s a lifelong war
[Chorus]
F G
My heartbeat, my oxygen
F G
My banner, my home
F G
My freedom, my song
F C G Am
Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa
C G F C G Am F G
(Oh whoa) Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa
[Bridge]
F C
My heart is beating like a blown speaker
G Am
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weaker
F C
A distortion pedal and a pair of wings
G C G Am C G Am
And an anthem played on broken strings
[Chorus]
F G
My heartbeat, my oxygen
F G
My banner, my home
F G
My future, my song
F
Your hope is the anthem
F
Yeah, Your hope is the anthem of my soul
C G Am
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
C G F
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
C G Am
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
F G C
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
[Outro]
C
Yeah, could you make me whole
C
Yeah, could you make me whole
C
Yeah, could you make me whole
