I come to sing a song about hope

I'm not in-spired much right now, but
     Eb MajorEb
  even so
       C minorCm
I came out here to sing a song, so here
    Eb MajorEb
   I go
      C minorCm       Eb MajorEb
I guess I think that if I tinker long
             C minorCm
   enough, one might a-ppear
         Eb MajorEb
And, look, it's here
       FF

I come to sing a song about hope
       G minorGm

   sad
        C minorCm
Though I'm be-yond belief, depressed,
          Eb MajorEb
   confused, and mad
        C minorCm       Eb MajorEb
Well, I got dressed, I under-estimated

    how much that would take
     Eb MajorEb
I didn't break
       Eb MajorEb
Until right now
      FF
I sing of hope
        repeat Bb majorBb BB intro:
And don't know how

Bridge:
Eb MajorEb
So maybe I can substitute "strength,"
       DmDm         C minorCm
Because I'm strong, I'm strong enough

I got through lots of things I didn't
        Eb MajorEb
    think I could

And so did you
        FF
I know that's true


Verse 3:
  Bb majorBb          BB  Bb majorBb
And so, we sing a song about hope
        G minorGm
Though I can't guarantee there's
             Eb MajorEb
    something real be-hind it
     C minorCm
I have to try to show my daughters I
      Eb MajorEb
    can find it
      C minorCm        Eb MajorEb
And so to-day, when life is crazy and
            C minorCm
    impossible to bear
      Eb MajorEb
It must be there
       FF
Fear never wins
        C minorCm
That's what I hope
       C minorCm
See? I said "hope"
      repeat Bb majorBb BB intro + rhythm:
The work begins
