Misc Originals – Bbfsbb And Dc - I Live In Hope (Guitar)

C
It started with a fire one Sunday morning

Em
I woke beside your smouldering embers and then you spoke

C
‘Will you be mine forever after?’

Em
My answer simple - I live in hope

D                   C
I hope to hell that there’s an everafter

Em
I live in hope

           D
Yeah well, she said it would be just like the first time

C                             Em
It only seems to me always the last time - But I live in hope

C
The black dog standing there at the threshold

Em
his brown eyes burn straight through me - and I quake

C
I’ve seen the black dog standing there at the threshold

Em
I never thought I’d be here - and that was my mistake

              D
But I live in hope

C                 Em
yeah ow I live in hope, yeah

D    C               Em
mmm yeah - I live in hope

C
Time was, is and always will be

Em
I take my place right by your side like a chump

C
Into open arms, sweet smiles and laughter

Em
Then you shrug me off like a winter coat

D
The first became the last

C
The last became the whole time

Em
The middle all went up in smoke

D                           C
I block my ears to shield me from your laughter

Em
Darkness falls like a cloak - but I live in hope

C              Em
yeah I live in hope

C
The black dog is never gunna get to me

         Em

       D                       C
You’ll never, ever get me to repeat the scenes

                            Em

              D
