Between the Cracks (3:00 am) John Mark McMillan Hope Anthology Volume 1 This is the acoustic version from his first album Verse 1:

^GHope grows between cracks in the asphalt In the ^Em7downtown ghetto streets that contour The g^Covernment housing intentions of my ^Gheart And n^Go one notices the daisies don't care About ^Em7gang related violence As long as they get enough ^Cair and water and sun They're all just f^Dine

Chorus:

^Em7Who would've thought it but life is finding a w^Gay Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and p^Dain There's a m^Em7an down here somewhere between The ^GSaturday cartoons and the dirty magazines He's r^Daising the dead in the graveyards Where ^Cwe've laid down our dreams His name is ^GHope

Verse 2:

^GHope stands high on the fifteenth floor On a C^Em7hristmas tree perched about the ledge of a fortress Of ^Csteel that's trying too hard to be somebody's ^Ghome As it sees my attention from I-85 though the th^Em7rows of the day

Were still writhing inside

I ^Clifted my head as I drove home that night and knew ^DEverything was gonna be fine

Chorus:

^Em7Who would've thought it but life is finding a w^Gay Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and p^Dain There's a m^Em7an down here not worried or afraid That some p^Golitician forgot all the promises he made And he's r^Daising the dead in the graveyards Where ^Cwe've laid down our dreams His name is H^Gope

Verse 3:

^GCan you hear him outside he's been singing all night He's saying ^Em7when you gonna come out from behind These ^Cpaper thin walls, your cardboard box re^Dalities

Chorus:

^Em7Who would've thought it but life is finding a w^Gay Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and p^Dain There's a m^Em7an down here not worried or afraid That some p^Golitician forgot all the promises he made And he's r^Daising the dreams in the graveyards Where ^Cwe've laid down our DEAD His name is H^Gope
