^Em7(spoken): Stories.^Bm7 ^Am7 We a^Bm7ll got'em. ^Em7 ^Bm7 ^Am7 chorus: ^Em7We've been ^Bm7down to the bottom. ^Am7Stories, we got'em when we ^Bm7hit rock bottom. ^Em7If you been there, put your ^Bm7hands in the air, ^Am7to let the lost know that ^Bm7someone cares. ^Em7'Cause we've been ^Bm7down to the bottom. ^Am7Stories, we got'em when we ^Bm7hit 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 ^Em7two that raised you and ^Am7call it quits. Nobody t^Em7old me 'bout the emptiness ^Am7 when the place you call home is clos^Ded for business. I push the p^Em7ain down I gotta get by^Am7, always kn^Em7owin' in my heart that it a^Am7int gonna fly. Rock b^Em7ottom's never felt so nea^Am7r before, and if pain is God's megaphone it's l^Doud and clear. So ^Em7hold me now, Father, human ^Am7love aint enough. I've ^Em7failed and been failed by the p^Am7eople I love. But Your ^Em7faithful arms, they surro^Am7und me and any other soul who has to s^Dail those seas of a ^Am7broken family D Bm7

Chorus:

See, w^Em7e've been d^Bm7own to the bottom. ^Am7Stories, we got'em when we ^Bm7hit rock bottom. ^Em7If you been there, put your ^Bm7hands 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:

^Em7Been so many times that I been ^Am7close to rock bottom, ^Em7tryin' to look for answers but ^Am7nobody's got'em. ^Em7Like the time my mother looked me ^Am7in the eye, tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer m^Dight cause her to die. ^Em7How can this be? I thought the ^Am7God love me. ^Em7So why would He try to take my ^Am7mother from me? And as I ^Em7cry myself to sleep at night, ^Am7holding on my pillow tight, he spoke to me and said the everyth^Ding gonna be all right. ^Em7 So I tried to fight ^Am7all the pain that it caused. I ^Em7try to move on and I t^Am7ry to stay strong. So put your h^Em7ands up if y'all are ^Am7feelin' me. And put your hands up for ev'ry^Done to see. So put your ^Am7hands up. We all a family. So put your h^Dands up in u^Bm7nity, in unity.

Bridge:

^Em7We've been down to the bottom! Stories we got'em! If you been there, put your h^Am7ands in the hair, put your ^Bm7hands in the air.

Verse 3:

^Em7I've been the^Am7re too, when ev'ryth^Em7ing falls apart, and the ^Am7best you can do is ge^Em7t through eac^Am7h day,

wonderin' will this never end?

Is is a^Dlways gonna be this ^Em7way? And the greastest ^Am7lie you ever been told ^Em7 is you're the only one to ^Am7walk this road. And now you'll n^Em7ever see the light of dawn,^Am7 so we came together to say( to^Dgether to say) hold ^Em7on. 'Cause we've been th^Am7ere and found our way h^Em7ome. We promise yo^Am7u that you're not on your ^Em7own. One day this will ^Am7pass, God will ^Dsee us all through. ^Am7 God will see us all ^D pass through. ^B7

Closing:

^Em7If you been there, put you your h^Am7ands in the air, put your h^B7ands in the air, put your hands in the air.
