for some reason the spacing is too much between the chords 
but they are all in order but just not over the correct words on
each line.

Em Em D D C9 C9 G G C9 C9 B B

VERSE 1:
Em Em G G Bm Bm Em Em C9 C9 G G C9 C9

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again.
Em Em G G Bm Bm Em Em C9 C9 G G C9 C9
I'm awake in the infinite cold,

About this song: Only Hope

"Only Hope" is a Switchfoot song written by Jon Foreman for their 1999 album New Way to Be Human. Despite not seeing a radio single release, it is one of Switchfoot's more popular songs, due to its inclusion and prominence in the 2002 film A Walk to Remember. It is also credited with helping bring Switchfoot to a mainstream audience and consequently sign to a major label. The song was notably covered by Mandy Moore for A Walk To Remember. Additionally, Switchfoot's version is played in toward the end of the film.
