Low Lives and High Hopes

Intro:
D MajorD E MajorE


Verse 1:
      D MajorD          E MajorE
Now I ain’t saying that this is fine,
               D MajorD              E MajorE
But life means more than 9 to 5 and tripping up over your mind.
   D MajorD         E MajorE
Dead roses and spilled wine,
               D MajorD            E MajorE
They are the only signs that we are counting down the miles.
     D MajorD  E MajorE         D MajorD   E MajorE
Until we meet, our next enjoyable defeat.
    D MajorD          E MajorE
Plastic people with empty lives,
                 D MajorD
They come but leave their hearts behind,
              E MajorE
And leave with self-adoring eyes, ooh.

Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE        F# minorF#m     D MajorD
I know that we’re shooting for stars,
   A augmentedA      E MajorE    F# minorF#m  D MajorD
That burned out a thousand years ago.
A augmentedA      E MajorE          F# minorF#m    D MajorD
But I can’t help but think that we have a chance,
       A augmentedA       E MajorE       F# minorF#m D MajorD
‘Cause we’re low lives with high hopes.
A augmentedA  E MajorE        D MajorD   E MajorE   D MajorD   E MajorE
Low lives, with high hopes


Verse 2:
   D MajorD      E MajorE
But reality sinks in,
                D MajorD                 E MajorE
It seems our hopes are whisker thin, but giving up’s the greatest sin.
    D MajorD        E MajorE               D MajorD
Why do we keep on promising each day away like it’s a whim?
               E MajorE
This ain’t a game that we can win.
            D MajorD E MajorE            D MajorD   E MajorE
This life is touch and go, but this is something we chose.
        D MajorD        E MajorE
I’ll pick this thorn out of my head,
            D MajorD                 E MajorE
That we’d be better off instead, chasing moons to meet our ends, ooh.

Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE        F# minorF#m     D MajorD
I know that we’re shooting for stars,
   A augmentedA      E MajorE    F# minorF#m  D MajorD
That burned out a thousand years ago.
A augmentedA      E MajorE          F# minorF#m    D MajorD
But I can’t help but think that we have a chance,
       A augmentedA       E MajorE       F# minorF#m D MajorD
‘Cause we’re low lives with high hopes.
A augmentedA  E MajorE        D MajorD   E MajorE   D MajorD   E MajorE
Low lives, with high hopes


Bridge:
D MajorD       A augmentedA      D MajorD    E MajorE
Underneath my skin I got a fever setting in,
D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE           D MajorD
Living a life of it’s own, maybe I should let it in.
D MajorD        A augmentedA          D MajorD      E MajorE
‘Cause I cannot emphasise what it’s like to apologise,
D MajorD    A augmentedA   E MajorE
I won't follow the guide


Chorus:
A augmentedA E MajorE        F# minorF#m     D MajorD

That burned out a thousand years ago.

‘Cause we’re low lives with high hopes.
A augmentedA  E MajorE        D MajorD   E MajorE   D MajorD   E MajorE
Low lives, with high hopes

Low lives, with high hopes
