Bb B
[Verse 1]
Bb B Bb
I come to sing a song about hope
Gm
I'm not in-spired much right now, but
Eb
even so
Cm
I came out here to sing a song, so here
Eb
I go
Cm Eb
I guess I think that if I tinker long
Cm
enough, one might a-ppear
Eb
And, look, it's here
F
One verse is done
[repeat Bb B intro]
The work's begun
[Verse 2]
Bb B Bb
I come to sing a song about hope
Gm
In spite of everything ridiculous and
Eb
sad
Cm
Though I'm be-yond belief, depressed,
Eb
confused, and mad
Cm Eb
Well, I got dressed, I under-estimated
Cm
how much that would take
Eb
I didn't break
Eb
Until right now
F
I sing of hope
[repeat Bb B intro]
And don't know how
[Bridge]
Eb
So maybe I can substitute "strength,"
Dm Cm
Because I'm strong, I'm strong enough
I got through lots of things I didn't
Eb
think I could
And so did you
F
I know that's true
[Verse 3]
Bb B Bb
And so, we sing a song about hope
Gm
Though I can't guarantee there's
Eb
something real be-hind it
Cm
I have to try to show my daughters I
Eb
can find it
Cm Eb
And so to-day, when life is crazy and
Cm
impossible to bear
Eb
It must be there
F
Fear never wins
Cm
That's what I hope
Cm
See? I said "hope"
[repeat Bb B intro + rhythm]
The work begins
