Hope For Now

      Em
This highway's dark and empty.
                C              
Just miles and miles of endless 
                  Am
road.
            Em
I've got a sickness pounding in my 
head.
            C                      
I'm at the mercy of the ghost.
      Am

                      Em         
What will it take to live as if I 
             C                  Am
would not another day?
                    Em             
To live without despair, and to be 
       C             Am
without disdain.
                C        D        
How can I instill such hope, but 
   Em                   Am
be left with none of my own?
                  C             D 
What if I could sing just one song
               Em               Am
 and it might save somebody's life?

  Em                   C       
I sought after, after reasons to 
             Am
stay.
       Em            C     Am
I was lost, I was lost.
          Em
Then the sky turned black,
           C                   Am
And the rains poured down.
         Em                   C   
I was waiting, waiting to be 
       Am
found. oh, no.

           C            D         
How can I instill such hope, but 
   Em                   Am
be left with none of my own?
                 C             D  
What if I could sing just one song
               Em              Am
 and it might save somebody's life?

              Em                   
Then I would sing all that I could 
 C       Am
sing
               C            D     
Cause that is when, when I feel 
                           Em      
that I'm not just counting time.
     Am

           Em                  C  
Oh when I sing all that I can sing
    Am

       C           D              
Maybe just for a moment things 
             Em        Am
would seem all right.
           C    D             Em  
Oh when I sing,    oh when I sing
 Am

           C     D            Em 
Oh when I sing,    oh when I sing
    Am            C    D   Em   

Am   C   D   Em
