      C#m       G#m
As I gather my thoughts
          A            E
With the pieces of my heart
 F#m          C#m       D    C#m
Tell me, how long is forever
          G#m         A              E  F#m
I'm not afraid and I won't be torn apart
       C#m            D    A B
We've had our time together
       B/A           E/G#   A B
Now I make my new beginnings
             B/A         E/G# A B
I'll start again at any cost
      B/A                C#m     B A F#m
I've learned a lot from losing you
              E/G#           A
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

Chorus:
    E Esus4 E
And I keep hoping
        E  Esus4 E      G#m
And I still believe in love
           C#m
If I wait long enough
                  B        A
I know I'll be strong enough
      E  F#m  E
Yeah, I keep hoping
     E   Am6/E E          G#m
I believe in  faith and trust
              C#m      B
I'm going to find a way
           A                          F#
There are better days still ahead of us
          B
I keep hoping

Now this candle burns low
It won't last through the night
But I've found peace
And I know it's all right
I try to understand
What's been missing in my life
Between the darkness and the daylight
No I'm not expecting miracles
I've got my doubts like any other one
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

Chorus:
And I keep hoping
I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
And I keep hoping
I believe, I believe in faith and trust
There are better days, better days,
around of us now, still ahead of us, aah
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby, ooh
And I still believe in love - x2
