A
Hope when you take that jump,
you don't fear the fall
Hope when the water rises,
you built a wall
F#m
Hoping the crowd screams out
           D
Screaming your name
F#m                D                   A
Hope if everybody runs You choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love
and it hurts so bad
The only way you can know
is give it all you have
And I hope that you don't
suffer but take the pain
Hope when the moment comes, you'll say:

Chorus:
A
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
  F#m
I owned every second That this world could give
   D
I saw so many places The things that I did
     F#m           D
With every broken bone
           A
I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days
but they all add up
And when that sun goes down
hope you raise your cup
I wish that I could witness
all your joy and all your pain
But until my moment comes, I'll say:

Chorus

     F#m           D
With every broken bone
           A
I swear I lived
     F#m           D
With every broken bone
           A
I swear I lived

Chorus
