[Verse]
                  Am             C
It's empty in the valley of your heart
                  Am            C
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                  Am
Away from all the fears
            C             G    C       F C
And all the faults you've left behind

                    Am              C
The harvest left no food for you to eat
                  Am              C
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
                    Am
But I have seen the same
           C        G    C        F C
I know the shame in your defeat

[Chorus]
    C      F       C
But I will hold on hope
    C       F       C
And I won't let you choke
F            C           G
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C
And I'll find strength in pain
    Am     F         C
And I will change my ways
F            C            G
I'll know my name as it's called again

Am C Am C Am C G C F C

[Verse]
             Am                      C
Cause I have other things to fill my time
                 Am                  C
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
                  Am
Now let me at the truth
              C         G      C   F C
Which will refresh my broken mind

               Am                C
So tie me to a post and block my ears
          Am                            C
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
                Am
I know my call despite my faults
    C          G       C      F C
And despite my growing fears

[Chorus]
    C      F       C
But I will hold on hope
    C       F       C
And I won't let you choke
F            C           G
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C
And I'll find strength in pain
    Am     F         C
And I will change my ways
F            C            G           C
I'll know my name as it's called again

[Verse]
                    Am                   C
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
                  Am             C
And see the world hanging upside down
                   Am
You can understand dependence
         C        G       C     F C
When you know the maker's hand

[Pre-Chorus]
   C         F       C
So make your siren's call
    C    F       C
And sing all you want
  F        C             G
I will not hear what you have to say

      Am     F       C
Cause I need freedom now
   Am      F        C
And I need to know how
   F       C            G
To live my life as it's meant to be

Am C Am C Am C G C F C

[Chorus]
    C      F       C
But I will hold on hope
    C       F       C
And I won't let you choke
F            C      G
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C
And I'll find strength in pain
    Am     F         C
And I will change my ways
F            C            G           C
I'll know my name as it's called again
