 What do you do when hope is all but gone?

 Songs of praise all very well

To walk into the void again?

And it's wide and it's broad

Verse 3:

C
Is your belly fat, is your man a twat?
                                     G
Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination?
              E                               Am          Am* Am/G*
The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots away

 In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light
    B
The smallest of sparks
       Dm
He's a tinderbox
       C
He's a flaming torch
           Dm
Pinch your self quite hard
     C
In a place that hurts
      Dm
If it doesn't work
         C
Ask your friend to comply
            Dm
And if they hit the spot
        C
You can let yourself cry
             F                                     E
And when the teardrops stop
I will take you for a drive
                                  Am             G#    C
I'll explain all I know about the spiritual side
            F
Life that's found beyond
     C
Your present situation
         F
And it's wide and it's broad
C
Beyond all estimation
            F
Life that's found beyond
     C
Your present situation
         F
And it's wide and it's broad
               C
So, state your destination
