Misc Your Songs - Steven leon - hope is tight

^N.C.Well I think between the ^F#Empty streets And the ^C#blacked out lights It's ^D#mpretty safe to say that ^A#7Hope is tight And I'm ^Bscraping at the bottom of the ^C#barrel for some piece of ^G#mmind

^F#Sinking in the dark Like a ^C#lifeless stone Since our ^D#mconfidence became ^A#7Overdrawn Long ^Bdays lead to lonely ^C#nights And hope is tight ^F#

Well we've ^F#got good friends And we've ^C#got good wine We ^D#mgot no work so there's ^A#7Plenty of time But the ^Bman says stay Aw^C#ay, Go in^G#mside

So we ^F#lock our doors And we ^C#close the blinds, Use elect^D#mric lights to Nu^A#7mb our minds ^BThoughts turning into ^C#streams And we never d^F#ream

It's hard to be ^F#brave Even though they say^C# we're winning, Hard to keep it ^D#mstraight When your head is ^Bspinning ^F#Hard to stay calm when the ^C#world is going ^EInsa^Bne The doctor can b^F#each that Medicine^C# But ever^D#mybody thinks they know Better than h^A#7im ^BTry to put up a ^C#fight But hope is tight.^F#

^F#What Do you say to a ^C#7-year-old who asks ^D#mWhy is God Taking ^A#7everyone home? ^BIs he just mad at ^C#Us or was he feeling Al^Eone?^B

^G#mSuddenly it o^D#mccurred to me That ^Bfaith and love are curr^F#ency So I ^G#mturned my pockets ^D#mInside-^Bout

And no^G#m, my hands were not^D#m empty ^BAll I had staring ^F#back at me Were ^G#mtwo fistfulls of ^D#mAnger and ^C#Doubt

^N.C.Well I think I'll call my ^F#moma up Just to ^C#say hello And I'll ^D#mtry not to cry When she ^A#7picks up the phone But ^Bevery time I hear her ^C#voice I just wanna go ^EHom^Be

It's hard not to f^F#eel Like the bad guy is ^C#winning When people sit and ^D#mact Like the world is still ^Bspinning But e^F#verywhere I look ^C#Life is just standing ^EStil^Bl You can drive a ^F#really good point Right in^C#to the ground But you ^D#mcan't win a war When you're s^A#7ix feet down ^BTry to put up a f^C#ight, But hope is ^F#tight...

^BTry to put up a ^C#fight, ^F#And lies won't make^D#m it right, I rea^Blly wanna see the ^C#light

^F#tight.
