{intro} 
 
Asus9   Asus9/C  G          
  I've taken      so many down 
Asus9  Asus9/C                  G          
              I've helped them all to dismount 
Asus9   Asus9/C  G          
  I've followed   so many down 
Asus9  Asus9/C              G            
              I take their hand-me-downs 
 
          Am             C          G  -  D          C  - D 
All with hope, all with hope, that emptiness brings fullness 
     G   -   D            C  -  D 
And loss of love brings wholeness 
          Am             C          G  -  D          C  - D 
All with hope, all with hope, that emptiness brings fullness 
     G   -   D            C   -   Bm7     (Asus9) 
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all 
    Asus9  Asus9/C  G  D    Asus9  Asus9/C  G  D 
(...all) {instrumental} 
 
Everything that I believe crawls from underneath the street 
Everything I truly love comes from somewhere far above 
Everything that I believe is wrong with you, is wrong with me 
Everything I truly love, I love in you and I love in me  {extra half measure} 
 
So give me hope, give me hope, that emptiness brings fullness 
And loss of love brings wholeness 
All with hope, all with hope, that emptiness brings fullness 
     G   -   D            C   -   Bm7       
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all 
 
G       G                     
  Swear you can't swim the river 
G           G                   
  I saw you running to jump in 
G             G                 
  I swore I'd never be your sinner 
G       G      Asus9  Asus9/C  G   
Till I held your sin;            Hand me down....

Now you ask me why I'm here; the same as you, I'm scared, it's fear 
I've become the beggar now, and you've become the saint somehow 
Twist the words and place the blame, and tell me know, aren't we the same? 
Tripping in our yellow feet, checking underneath our sheets  {extra half bar} 
 
For some hope, give me hope, that emptiness brings fullness 
And loss of love brings wholeness 
All with hope, all with hope, that emptiness brings fullness 
     G   -   D            C   -   Bm7    Am. 
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all
