Intro:

D / | A - Bm7 // | D / | A - Bm7 //


Verse 1:
     D        A   Bm7
Sometimes what you need is what you fight
    D        A   G
Like a wounded man out on the run
   D       A    Bm7
Like shadows hiding from the light
     G         A   D
But your love is what I was running from
         A    Bm7
Hope’s a seed you have to sow
     D      A    G
When you let it go it comes to life
    D          A   Bm7
So you stretch your arrows on the bow
    G         A     D
And you pull them back and watch them fly

Chorus:
  G       A
My heartbeat, my oxygen
  G     A
My banner, my home
  G     A
My future, my song
   G         A   D   A   Bm7  D  A   Bm7
Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa     oh whoa


Verse 2:
  D        A    Bm7
My lungs and I were born to fight
     D           A    G
Sometimes I’m not sure what I’m fighting for
  D          A   Bm7
But death ain’t the only end in sight
    G             A    D
’Cause this ain’t a battle it’s a lifelong war


Chorus:
  G       A
My heartbeat, my oxygen
  G     A
My banner, my home
  G      A
My freedom, my song
   G            D   A   Bm7
Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa
D A       G            D   A   Bm7  G  A
  (Oh whoa) Your hope is the anthem of my soul, oh whoa


Bridge:
  G                D
My heart is beating like a blown speaker
  A                 Bm7
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weaker
   G              D
A distortion pedal and a pair of wings
    A            D   A - Bm7  D  A - Bm7
And an anthem played on broken strings


Chorus:
  G       A
My heartbeat, my oxygen
  G     A
My banner, my home
  G     A
My future, my song
   G
Your hope is the anthem
      G
Yeah, Your hope is the anthem of my soul
   D         A   Bm7
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
   D         A   G
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
   D         A   Bm7
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
   G         A   D
(Your hope is the anthem of my soul)
