High Hopes

Intro: Dm  Dm7  Bb/D

Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
Beyond the horizon of the place we 
lived when we were young
Dm        Dm7           Bb/D
In a world of magnets and miracles
Dm        Dm7           Bb/D
Our thoughts strayed constantly and 
without boundary
Dm7       Dm7           Bb/D
The ringing of the division bell had
 begun

Dm7           C/Bb             
Along the long road and on down
A4             A
 the causeway
Dm7           C/Bb             
Do they still meet there by the
A4             A
 cut
Dm            Dm7         
There was a ragged band that 
     Bb/D
followed in our footsteps
Dm            Dm7              
Running before time took our dreams 
Bb/D
away
Dm            Dm7              
Leaving the myriad small creatures 
Bb/D
trying to tie us to the ground
Dm            Dm7              Bb/D
To a life consumed by slow decay

                 Dm    F/A   Am  
  The grass was greener
   Bb      A4

  The light was brighter
    Gm      Am    Bb

                 Dm    F/A   Am  
  With friends surrounded
   Bb      A4

 A               Dm    C/E   F  
  The nights of wonder
    Gm      Am


Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
Looking beyond the embers of bridges
 glowing behind us
Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
To a glimpse of how green it was on 
the other side
Dm        Dm7          
Steps taken forwards but 
Bb/D
sleepwalking back again
Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
Dragged by the force of some inner 
tide
Dm7           C/Bb             
At a higher altitude with flag 
A4             A
unfurled
Dm7           C/Bb             
We reached the dizzy heights of
A4             A        (solo)
 that dreamed of world

Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
Encumbered forever by desire and 
ambition
Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
Our weary eyes still stray to the 
horizon
Dm        Dm7          Bb/D
though down this road we've been so 
many times

                 Dm    F/A   Am  
The grass was greener
   Bb      A4

 A               Dm    C/E   F  
The light was brighter
    Gm      Am    Bb

                 Dm    F/A   Am  
The taste was sweeter
   Bb      A4

 A               Dm    C/E   F  
The nights of wonder
    Gm      Am    Bb

                 Dm    F/A   Am  
With friends surrounded
   Bb      A4

 A               Dm    C/E   F  
The dawn mist glowing
    Gm      Am    Bb

                 Dm    F/A   Am  
The water flowing
   Bb      A4

 A               Dm    C/E   F  
The endless river
    Gm      Am    Bb


                 Dm    F/A   Am  
Forever and ever
   Bb      A4 (solo)
