Hope Alone chords by Indigo Girls

Intro:
Em   C    D    G
C    G    Am   D

Verse:
G
Let's not drag this out
F
Everything's in motion
            C    G              Am
Though I've only ever loved you kind
         D
And with devotion

G
Remember when I met you
         F
You were leaving from the start
  C                     G                  Am
I thought one day you'd probably just come home
             D
And break my heart

Pre-Chorus:
Am                  G
It's funny what you know
    C              D
And still go on pretending
     Am          G
With no good evidence
            C              D
You'll ever see that happy ending

Chorus:
Em   C
You
     D                G
Were looking for your distance
    C            G
And sensing my resistance
    Am             D
You had to do your will
Em  C
I
D                G
Had to learn the hard way
C               G               Am
We were just an empty dream too big
    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill

Em   C    D   G

Verse 2:
G
I know I'm a dreamer
F
So I'll give you that
        C        G                Am
Still I hope I'm more than just a place
              D
You laid your hat

G
You're a land of secrets
    F
Its only citizen
    C                G
and though I paid my dues
      C             D
I was never allowed in

Pre-Chorus:
    Am        G
And so I am a stranger
   C         D
Especially today
      Am            G
Cause I get sad and lonely
    C            D
And you get your way

Chorus:
Em   C
You
     D                G
Were looking for your distance
    C            G
And sensing my resistance
    Am             D
You had to do your will
Em  C
I
D                G
Had to learn the hard way
C               G               Am
We were just an empty dream too big
    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill

Bridge:
F
Holding on for change I know
   C             G
We never stood a chance
   F
So I could only wait and watch you
D
Slip right through my hands

Chorus:
Em   C
You
     D                G
Were looking for your distance
    C            G
And sensing my resistance
    Am             D
You had to do your will
Em  C
I
D                G
Had to learn the hard way
C               G               Am
We were just an empty dream too big
    Cm            Em
For hope alone to fill

Outro:
Em   C    D    G
