Low Lives and High Hopes

Intro:
D  E


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

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


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


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


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


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


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