It Was A Dark And Stormy Night Hope Still Flies

	  		 

VERSE 
F#m                       A              E             B 
It was a dark and stormy night last night bitter dark 

F#m 
Rain fell in torrents 

A                                 E 
stabbing its ghosts through the cold 

                            B 
and straight through our hearts 

Chorus 

            D                       E        F#m 
I?ve been waiting in halfhearted sleep 

       A                           B  
For a promise I half meant to keep 

           D                  E        F#m 
Just for hoping that hope still flies 

           A                         B   
Wipe the sleep out of our sleeping eyes 


VERSE 

Fog that is lifting  
the specter of dreams we once had 
speaks into the night 
Slumber is over 
sunlight is streaming through 
come into the light 

BRIDGE 
   C  
I know 

D                     C#m 
Hope has not forgotten me 

C  
I know 

D                             C#m 
I?m waking from the longest dream 

A     C        D 
I know, I know  

A    C       D     E 
I know, I know
