[Intro]
Am C  x3
Em C F C

[Verse 1]
                  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 2]
                    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 3]
                    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
And 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
