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
