Intro: C#m E C#m E C#m E A E A E
Verse:
C#m E
It's empty in the valley of your heart
C#m E
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
C#m
Away from all the fears
E A E A E
And all the faults you've left behind
Verse:
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
Chorus:
E A E
But I will hold on hope
E A E
And I won't let you choke
A E B
On the noose around your neck
C#m A E
And I'll find strength in pain
C#m A E
And I will change my ways
A E B
I'll know my name as it's called again
Interlude: C#m E C#m E C#m E A E A E
Verse (muted):
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
Verse (muted):
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
Chorus:
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Verse (muted):
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand
Chorus:
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be
Chorus:
And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
