Hope Is Tight Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Steven Leon

[VERSE 1]
[N.C.]Well I think between the

[F#]Empty streets
And the [C#]blacked out lights
It's [D#m]pretty safe to say that
[A#7]Hope is tight
And I'm [B]scraping at the bottom of the
[C#]barrel for some piece of
[G#m]mind

[F#]Sinking in the dark
Like a [C#]lifeless stone
Since our [D#m]confidence became
[A#7]Overdrawn
Long [B]days lead to lonely [C#]nights
And hope is tight [F#]

[VERSE 2]
Well we've [F#]got good friends
And we've [C#]got good wine
We [D#m]got no work so there's
[A#7]Plenty of time
But the [B]man says stay
Aw[C#]ay, Go
in[G#m]side

So we [F#]lock our doors
And we [C#]close the blinds,
Use elect[D#m]ric lights to
Nu[A#7]mb our minds
[B]Thoughts turning into [C#]streams
And we never d[F#]ream

[Main Chorus]
It's hard to be [F#]brave
Even though they say[C#] we're winning,
Hard to keep it [D#m]straight
When your head is [B]spinning
[F#]Hard to stay calm when the [C#]world is going
[E]Insa[B]ne
The doctor can b[F#]each that
Medicine[C#]
But ever[D#m]ybody thinks they know
Better than h[A#7]im
[B]Try to put up a [C#]fight
But hope is tight.[F#]

[VERSE 3]

And tell me

[F#]What Do you say to a
[C#]7-year-old who asks
[D#m]Why is God
Taking [A#7]everyone home?
[B]Is he just mad at
[C#]Us or was he feeling
Al[E]one?[B]

[BRIDGE]

[G#m]Suddenly it o[D#m]ccurred to me
That [B]faith and love are curr[F#]ency
So I [G#m]turned my pockets
[D#m]Inside-[B]out

And no[G#m] , my hands were not[D#m] empty
[B]All I had staring [F#]back at me
Were [G#m]two fistfulls of
[D#m]Anger and
[C#]Doubt

[Final Verse]
[N.C.]Well I think
I'll call my [F#]moma up
Just to [C#]say hello
And I'll [D#m]try not to cry
When she [A#7]picks up the phone
But [B]every time I hear her [C#]voice I just wanna go
[E]Hom[B]e

[FINAL CHORUS]

It's hard not to f[F#]eel
Like the bad guy is [C#]winning
When people sit and [D#m]act
Like the world is still [B]spinning
But e[F#]verywhere I look
[C#]Life is just standing
[E]Stil[B]l
You can drive a [F#]really good point
Right in[C#]to the ground
But you [D#m]can't win a war
When you're s[A#7]ix feet down
[B]Try to put up a f[C#]ight,
But hope is [F#]tight...

[B]Try to put up a [C#]fight,
[F#]And lies won't make[D#m] it right,
I rea[B]lly wanna see the [C#]light

But hope is
[F#]tight.
