Live In Hope

D                 A              
I walk the streets alone here, I 
D                 A
go with head hung down
   F#m               G            
The heavens laugh so hard at me 
       Bm              F#m
that I cannot bear the sound
   D             A          D    
A home to every lonely, an ear to
       A
 every cry
  F#m           G            Bm  
An eye to every suffering and 
            F#m
lost to reasons why

[Chorus]
D                    A
And of all the awful things I’ve 
heard
Bm                     F#m
The worst must be those terrible 
words
   G               A
If I don’t do it, that man will
   G         A         A
Be it steal, rape or kill

[Verse 2]
   D             A           D   
I strive to be a good man, I know
              A
 it serves me well
   F#m                   G        
'Though how and when this start 
        Bm             F#m
was made, I truly cannot tell

 D                    A           
I’ve loved and I have been loved, 
   D             A
I was not always true
    F#m                 G         
And at times I feel to stay alone,
       Bm             F#m
 Is the honest thing to do

[Chorus]
D                 A
Still in all I’ve best conceived
Bm                F#m
That I did fall in fleshy need
 G               A
And taking water laced with sin
   G               A         A
Seen what love is up against

[Verse 3]
    D               A         D  
My mind is full of worry, and 
         A
wonder at itself
 F#m                   G          
I search all day for answers, and 
Bm         F#m
nothing ever helps
 D                    A         D
I don’t believe the stories of 
            A
high and holy ghosts
 F#m                   G          
And if anything should matter, 
  Bm                F#m
then what should matter most?

[Chorus]
D                 A
To the thought I will abide
Bm                    F#m
That hate is foolish, love is wise
G               A
Words the old man softly spoke
G               A         A
Left the world to live in hope
