Intro:
[Em7](spoken): Stories.[Bm7] [Am7] We a[Bm7]ll got'em.[Em7][Bm7][Am7]
chorus:
[Em7]We've been [Bm7]down to the bottom.
[Am7]Stories, we got'em when we [Bm7]hit rock bottom.
[Em7]If you been there, put your [Bm7]hands in the air,
[Am7]to let the lost know that [Bm7]someone cares.
[Em7]'Cause we've been [Bm7]down to the bottom.
[Am7]Stories, we got'em when we [Bm7]hit rock bottom.
If you been there, put your hands in the air,
and let somebody know that the Most High cares.
Verse 1:
[Em7] I never knew that it would feel like this[Am7]
when the [Em7]two that raised you and [Am7]call it quits.
Nobody t[Em7]old me 'bout the emptiness[Am7]
when the place you call home is clos[D]ed for business.
I push the p[Em7]ain down I gotta get by[Am7],
always kn[Em7]owin' in my heart that it a[Am7]int gonna fly.
Rock b[Em7]ottom's never felt so nea[Am7]r before,
and if pain is God's megaphone it's l[D]oud and clear.
So [Em7]hold me now, Father, human [Am7]love aint enough.
I've [Em7]failed and been failed by the p[Am7]eople I love.
But Your [Em7]faithful arms, they surro[Am7]und me
and any other soul who has to s[D]ail those seas of a [Am7]broken family
[D] [Bm7]
Chorus:
See, w[Em7]e've been d[Bm7]own to the bottom.
[Am7]Stories, we got'em when we [Bm7]hit rock bottom.
[Em7]If you been there, put your [Bm7]hands in the air,
to let the lost know that someone cares.
'Cause we've been down to the bottom.
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.
Verse:
[Em7]Been so many times that I been [Am7]close to rock bottom,
[Em7]tryin' to look for answers but [Am7]nobody's got'em.
[Em7]Like the time my mother looked me [Am7]in the eye,
tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer m[D]ight cause her to die.
[Em7]How can this be? I thought the [Am7]God love me.
[Em7]So why would He try to take my [Am7]mother from me?
And as I [Em7]cry myself to sleep at night,
[Am7]holding on my pillow tight,
he spoke to me and said the everyth[D]ing gonna be all right.
[Em7] So I tried to fight [Am7]all the pain that it caused.
I [Em7]try to move on and I t[Am7]ry to stay strong.
So put your h[Em7]ands up if y'all are [Am7]feelin' me.
And put your hands up for ev'ry[D]one to see.
So put your [Am7]hands up. We all a family.
So put your h[D]ands up in u[Bm7]nity, in unity.
Bridge:
[Em7]We've been down to the bottom!
Stories we got'em!
If you been there, put your h[Am7]ands in the hair,
put your [Bm7]hands in the air.
Verse 3:
[Em7]I've been the[Am7]re too,
when ev'ryth[Em7]ing falls apart,
and the [Am7]best you can do is ge[Em7]t through eac[Am7]h day,
wonderin' will this never end?
Is is a[D]lways gonna be this [Em7]way?
And the greastest [Am7]lie you ever been told[Em7]
is you're the only one to [Am7]walk this road.
And now you'll n[Em7]ever see the light of dawn,[Am7]
so we came together to say( to[D]gether to say) hold [Em7]on.
'Cause we've been th[Am7]ere and found our way h[Em7]ome.
We promise yo[Am7]u that you're not on your [Em7]own.
One day this will [Am7]pass, God will [D]see us all through.
[Am7] God will see us all [D] pass through.[B7]
Closing:
[Em7]If you been there, put you your h[Am7]ands in the air,
put your h[B7]ands in the air, put your hands in the air.
