Between The Cracks

G
Hope grows between cracks in the 
asphault
       Em
In the downtown ghetto streets that 
contour
     D                             
The government housing intentions 
     G
of my heart

No one notices the daisies don't 
care
      Em
About gang related violence
                           D
As long as they get enough air and 
water and sun
                  C
They're all just fine

Em                                
Who would've thought it but life 
            G
is finding a way
Through this wasteland of cynics, 
               D
concrete, and pain
           Em
There's a man down here somewhere 
between
    G
The Saturday cartooons and the dirty
 magazines
      D
He's raising the dead in the 
graveyards
      C
Where we've laid down our dreams
            G
His name is Hope

G
Hope stands high on the 15th floor

      Em
On a Christmas tree perched about 
the ledge of a fortress
   D                               
of steel that's trying to hard to 
              G
be somebody's home
As it sees my attention from I-85 
             Em
though the throws of the day

Were still writhing inside
  D
I lifted my head as I drove home 
that night and knew
C
Everything was gonna be fine

Em                                
Who would've thought it but life 
            G
is finding a way
Through this wasteland of cynics, 
               D
concrete, and pain
           Em
There's a man down here not worried 
or afraid
           G
That some politician forgot all the 
promises he made
          D
And he's raising the dead in the 
graveyards
      C
Where we've laid down our dreams
             G
His name is Hope

               C
His name is Hope
                      D
Everybody needs a little         x2


               C
His name is Hope
                      D
Everybody wants a little          x2

               C
His name is Hope
                      D
Everybody needs a little

           Em
There's a man down here not worried

G
Can you hear him outside he's been 
singing all night
            Em
He's saying when you gonna come out 
from behind
      D                     
These paper thin walls, your 
                 C
cardboard box realities
