Dear Hope chords by Sara Bareilles

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G  A  D/F# G x2


Verse 1:
G              A
Read a book on Hemingway
D/F#              G
Closed my eyes to see
G                  A
The man himself appeared to say
D/F#                 G
To write is just to bleed

Pre-Chorus:
G                   A                    D/F#
So I will write it down, all the jagged edges
                   G
The ugliness I've seen
G                    A                    D/F#
Until I change the truth, rearrange the letters
               Em       D
For beauty underneath, mmm


Chorus:
      D               Gm
Dear Hope, if you can hear me, don't go
                                          D
I don't feel you now, but I know you're there
      D                   Gm
Dear Hope, I could really use you now
G
Throw me a rope
Gm
Throw me a rope
D         A* D  A* D
Dear Hope


Verse 2:
G                 A                   D/F#
I can't seem to shake it yet, feeling that
                   G
Things may never change
G                     A                D/F#
It always breaks my heart when broken parts
               G
Ache to heal again


Pre-Chorus:
G                   A                    D/F#
So I will write it down and make jagged edges
                      G
Into something I can hold
G                    A
Don't wanna lose my way
             D/F#
Like dear Hemingway
               Em    D
So I won't let go,  ohh


Chorus:
      D               Gm
Dear Hope, if you can hear me, don't go
                                          D
I don't feel you now, but I know you're there
      D                   Gm
Dear Hope, I could really use you now
G
Throw me a rope
Gm
Throw me a rope
G
Throw me a rope
Gm
Throw me a rope
D        A* D  A* D
Dear Hope
