Hope

 D                         A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G                                  Bm
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
         D                       A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
       G                       G
The way you break my heart in two
       Bm                 G                D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?

D                                 A
You have really been the only way to
                             G
Live through the civil wars, and
                              G
Nine elevens and holocausts then

Dream of a better dawn
D                                     A
I remember when you taught me how to fly
                             G
I used to treasure you like gold
                               G
When ignorance was bliss back then
                               D
But so much has changed with time
                                    A
I've watched some people die since then
                                     G
Now I've lost most fights that I've fought and
                        G
I feel more broken than whole and
                                 D
I've cried more than often than not
                                A
And I know that it's you in it all
                              G
So it makes me scared to trust you
                             G
When you're so often full of it
                                A
Pretend that I don't let it bother me
                  G
But I do, and it does

D                               A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G                                         Bm
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
              D                 A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
         Em                   A
The way you break my heart in two
           Em              Bm        A          D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?

       D                           A
Your light used to keep me up at night
                         G
Dreaming of all I could be
                         A
Anything could happen, these days
A                  D
An unaffordable luxury
                           A
I love you, I ain't gonna lie
                          G
You've been like water to my tree
                           Bm     D
Now you're slowly drowning me
                              G
And it's hard for me to see why
                        A
We're still standing here


D                               A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G                                         Bm  A
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
              D                 A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
         Em                   A
The way you break my heart in two
           Em              Bm        A          D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?

 D
Maybe our time's come and gone on
 A
Me and you had a long time, a nice run
 G
But everything good always has an end come
 G
And maybe it's time you and I move on
 D
But you're the one carrying me to the next line
 A
Have I've let you let me down for the last time
G
I need you more than I've ever had to
 G
But I don't want to

Bm
Don't let me lose you

D                               A
I know I need you now and I hate it
G                                         Bm  A
I'm scared that If I lose you I won't make it
              D                 A
But ain't nobody do me like you do
         Em                   A
The way you break my heart in two
           Em              Bm        A          D
So tell me hope... why am I still holding onto you?
