Chords

[Intro] Am C x3 Em C F C [Verse]
                  Am             C
It's empty in the valley of your heart

                  Am            C
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk

                  Am
Away from all the fears

            C             Em    C       F C
And all the faults you've left behind

                    Am              C
The harvest left no food for you to eat

                  Am              C
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see

                    Am
But I have seen the same

           C        Em    C        F C
I know the shame in your defeat
[Chorus]
    C      F       C
But I will hold on hope

    C       F       C
And I won't let you choke

F            C           G
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C
And I'll find strength in pain

    Am     F         C
And I will change my ways

F            C            G
I'll know my name as it's called again
Am C Am C Am C G C F C [Verse]
             Am                      C
Cause I have other things to fill my time

                 Am                  C
You take what is yours and I'll take mine

                  Am
Now let me at the truth

              C         G      C   F C
Which will refresh my broken mind

               Am                C
So tie me to a post and block my ears

          Am                            C
I can see widows and orphans through my tears

                Am
I know my call despite my faults

    C          G       C      F C
And despite my growing fears
[Chorus]
    C      F       C
But I will hold on hope

    C       F       C
And I won't let you choke

F            C           G
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C
And I'll find strength in pain

    Am     F         C
And I will change my ways

F            C            G           C
I'll know my name as it's called again
[Verse]
                    Am                   C
So come out of your cave walking on your hands

                  Am             C
And see the world hanging upside down

                   Am
You can understand dependence

         C        G       C     F C
When you know the maker's hand
[Pre-Chorus]
   C         F       C
So make your siren's call

    C    F       C
And sing all you want

  F        C             G
I will not hear what you have to say

      Am     F       C
Cause I need freedom now

   Am      F        C
And I need to know how

   F       C            G
To live my life as it's meant to be
C F C C F C F C G C F C C F C F C G [Chorus]
    C      F       C
But I will hold on hope

    C       F       C
And I won't let you choke

F            C      G
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C
And I'll find strength in pain

    Am     F         C
And I will change my ways

F            C            G           C
I'll know my name as it's called again
