Hope - Ethan Flynn (2019)
From the album "Happy Valley"

[Verse 1]

Fmaj7
How can I
Gm7            C7
Hope to find a love
          Fmaj7     Dm7  C  Bb                C
That will mean much more to me than this one does

Fmaj7
How can I
   Gm7          C7
Go on without a care
      Fmaj7  Dm7  C     Bb          C
As if you and I weren’t ever really there


[Chorus]

Bb                       F    Dm
And you showed me how to love
Bb     C            Fmaj7 Dm7
Like I never loved before you
Bb            C            Fmaj7 Dm7
You showed me how to say I love you
Bb       C                  F
And just hope you’d love me too


[Verse 2]

Fmaj7
Take away
Gm7             C7
All my pain and fear
        Fmaj7  Dm7  C    Bb                   C
So that my heart doesn’t burst when I see you near

Fmaj7
I can’t imagine
        Gm7           C7
Holding on to someone else
       Fmaj7        Dm7  C     Bb           C
That’s somehow even worse than being all by myself

[Chorus]

Bb                       F    Dm
But you showed me how to love, woah
Bb     C            Fmaj7 Dm7
Like I never loved before you
Bb            C            Fmaj7 Dm7
You showed me how to say I love you
Bb       C                  F    F7
And just hope you’d love me too


[Bridge]

      Bb
But I pray
               C7
That you won’t find
 Fmaj7   Dm7
Another guy
       Gm7
And at night
               C7
I scream and I cry
         Fmaj7
Thinking of
               Dm7
You saying goodbye
      Gm7
Every day
                 C7
Oh yeah in every way
       Fmaj7
I will wait
                Dm7
For you to come by

[Second Bridge]

Bb                 F   Am
But you don’t need more
Bb                  F   Am
Of me crying on the floor
Bb                      F  Am
Begging you baby please stay
Bb                       F  Am
Don’t throw my feelings away

[Outro]

Bb C7 Fmaj7 Dm7
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Dm7

     Gm7     C7     Fmaj7  Dm7
So I need to put my hope aside
       Gm7     C7     Fmaj7  Dm7
Yeah I need to put my hope aside

Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
