Bm   D     A       E   Bm 
I've taken so many down

D                A         E   Bm
I've helped them all to dismount

     D        A       E  Bm
I've followed so many down

D            A           E
I take their hand me downs
[Chorus]
E        Bm             D
All with hope, all with hope

     A                E
That emptiness brings fullness

    A       E           D
And loss of love brings wholeness

         Bm             D
All with hope, all with hope

     A         E      D
That emptiness brings fullness

E        A       E                      Bm D A E
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all
[Interlude] Bm D A E Bm D A E [Verse 2]
Bm              D
Everything that I believe

A                E
Crawls from underneath the streets

Bm           D
Everything I truly love

A              E
Comes from somewhere far above

Bm              D
Everything that I believe

   A                 E
Is wrong with you is wrong with me

Bm           D
Everything I truly love

  A                 E
I love in you and I love in me
[Chorus]
           Bm            D
So give me hope, give me hope 

     A         E      D
That emptiness brings fullness

E        A       E                      Bm
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all
[Bridge]
A                        E
You swear you can't swim the river

E
(I've become the beggar now)

E
(You've become the saint somehow)

A                             E
But I saw you running to jump in

E
(I've become the beggar now)

E
(You've become the saint somehow)

A                    E
I swore I'd never be your sinner

E
(I've become the beggar now)

E
(You've become the saint somehow)

A           Bm    A
'Til I held your sin

E
Hand me downs
[Guitar Solo] Bm D A E Bm D A E Bm D A E Bm D A E Bm D A E [Verse 3]
Bm             D
Now you ask me why I'm here

    A                E
The same as you, I'm scared, it's fear

Bm              D
I've become the beggar now

    A                 E
And you've become the saint somehow

Bm                  D
Twist the words and place the blame

    A                   E
And tell me now, aren't we the same?

Bm                     D
Tripping in our yellow feet

A             E
Checking underneath our sheets
[Out-Chorus]
         Bm            D
For some hope, give me hope

     A    E
That emptiness brings fullness

    A                   D
And loss of love brings wholeness

E       Bm            D
Give me hope, give me hope

     A    E
That emptiness brings fullness

    A       E                           Bm
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all
