I Have

Intro 
C Bb F (2x) 

 
          C 
Have you ever lost hope on a prayer 
                  Bb                         F 
'Cause the man upstairs didn't call, didn't make a sound 
        C 
So you felt some doubt, but you still knelt down 
      Bb     F 
Well, I have 
 

 
          C 
Have you ever been so burned out 
                      Bb                               F 
You were ashes on the ground, but you didn't have the luxury 
         C 
To quit running so fast, so you hit the gas 
      Bb      F 
Well, I have 
 

 
C                      Bb               F               C 
Is it just me or does anyone out there anywhere find it hard to 
  C  Bb  F 
believe? 
 

 
    G                   Am              F           C 
Oh, God, I'm trying to carry on, but I fear that I can't 
          G                  Am               F           C 
It feels like sometimes I'm waiting on some twisted damn plan 
          G                    Am 
I've had enough of this white-knuckle grip 
       F         C 
Lord, I'm just a man 
        Bb       F            C 
Holding on with everything I have 
 

Interlude 
C Bb F 

 
          C 
Have you ever come down from a mountain high 
              Bb                     F 
And tried to climb back up, but you downhill dive 
        C 
So you turn to the bottle just to get you by 
      Bb     F 
Well, I have 
 

 
                  C 
Oh, and have you ever been crippled by an anxious fear 
            Bb                     F 
And took a long, hard look in the bathroom mirror 
              C 
And thought, "Who'd even miss me if I disappeared?" 
      Bb     F 
Well, I have 
 

 
    G                   Am              F           C 
Oh, God, I'm trying to carry on, but I fear that I can't 
          G                  Am               F           C 
It feels like sometimes I'm waiting on some twisted damn plan 
          G                    Am 
I've had enough of this white-knuckle grip 
       F         C 
Lord, I'm just a man 
        Bb       F            C 
Holding on with everything I have 
   Bb      F       C     Bb  F 
I have, I have, I have 
 

 
C                      Bb               F               C 
Is it just me or does anyone out there anywhere find it hard to 
  C  Bb  F 
believe? 
 

 
               G        Am              F           C 
Oh, God, I'm trying to carry on, but I fear that I can't 
          G                  Am               F           C 
It feels like sometimes I'm waiting on some twisted damn plan 
          G                    Am 
I've had enough of this white-knuckle grip 
       F         C 
Lord, I'm just a man 
        Bb       F            C 
Holding on with everything I have 
                   C    Bb   F   C   Bb   F 
With everything I have
