A
Monday morning runs to Sunday night
Screaming slow me down before the new year dies
Won't take much to kill a lovin' smile
And every mother with a baby cryin in her arms sings
G                             A
Give me help, give me strength
                                     G
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
          C                          E
Don't you know these days you pay for everything

          A
Got high hopes, got high hopes
Got high hopes, got high hopes

Comin' from the city, comin' from the wild
I see a breathless army breakin' like a cloud
They're gonna smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit, they'll learn to hate themselves
G                             A
Give me help, give me strength
                                     G
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
          C                          E
Don't you know these days you pay for everything

          A
Got high hopes, got high hopes
Got high hopes, got high hopes
Got high hopes, got high hopes
Got high hopes, got high hopes

So tell me someone, now, what's the price
I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life
I wanna have a wife I wanna have some kids
I want to look in their eyes and know they stand a chance
G                             A
Give me help, give me strength
                                     G
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
          C                          E
Don't you know these days you pay for everything

          A
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
