Live In Hope chords by Flannery Mick

Verse:

D         A       D         A
I walk the streets alone here, I go with head hung down

  F#m        G          Bm       F#m
The heavens laugh so hard at me that I cannot bear the sound

  D       A     D      A
A home to every lonely, an ear to every cry

 F#m      G      Bm       F#m
An eye to every suffering and lost to reasons why

Chorus:

D          A
And of all the awful things I’ve heard

Bm           F#m
The worst must be those terrible words

  G        A
If I don’t do it, that man will

  G     A     A
Be it steal, rape or kill

Verse 2:

  D       A      D         A
I strive to be a good man, I know it serves me well

  F#m          G        Bm       F#m
'Though how and when this start was made, I truly cannot tell

 D          A       D       A
I’ve loved and I have been loved, I was not always true

  F#m         G        Bm       F#m
And at times I feel to stay alone, Is the honest thing to do

Chorus:

D         A
Still in all I’ve best conceived

Bm        F#m
That I did fall in fleshy need

 G        A
And taking water laced with sin

  G        A     A
Seen what love is up against


Interlude:
D        A     D      A
F#m       G     Bm     F#m

Verse 3:

  D        A     D      A
My mind is full of worry, and wonder at itself

 F#m          G     Bm     F#m
I search all day for answers, and nothing ever helps

 D          A     D      A
I don’t believe the stories of high and holy ghosts

 F#m          G      Bm        F#m
And if anything should matter, then what should matter most?

Chorus:

D         A
To the thought I will abide

Bm          F#m
That hate is foolish, love is wise

G        A
Words the old man softly spoke

G        A     A
Left the world to live in hope

F#m       G     Bm     F#m
D        A     D
