Hope in the Air Laura Marling
Intro: Fm
[Fm/Ab]There is a [Gm7]man that I [Fm]know,
for [Fm/Ab]seventeen [Gm7]years, he never [Fm]spoke.
[Db]Guess he had nothing to [Fm]say,
he [Fm/Ab]opened his [Gm7]mouth on [Gm7b5]Judgement [Fm]Day.
I [Fm/Ab]listened with [Gm7]all of my [Fm]might,
but was [Fm/Ab]scared by the [Gm7]look in his [Fm]eyes.
Like [Db]he'd already lost the [Fm]fight,
and [Fm/Ab]there was no [Gm7]hope [Gm7b5]ever in [Fm]sight.
No [Db]hope in the air,
no [Fm]hope in the water,
not even for [Gm7]me,
[Gm7b5]your last serving [Fm]daughter.
[Eb]Why fear [Cm7]death, be [Ab]scared of [Fm7]living,
our [Bbm]hearts are small and [Fm/Ab]ever thinning.
[Bbm]There is no hope [Fm/Ab]ever of winning,
oh, [Ab]why fear [Gm7]death, be [Gm7b5]scared of [Fm]living.
[Fm/Ab]I have [Gm7]seen men [Fm]provoked,
and [Fm/Ab]I have seen [Gm7]lives revok[Fm]ed,
and I [Db]looked at my life and [Fm]choked.
[Fm/Ab]From there no [Gm7]more [Gm7b5]ever I [Fm]spoke.
[Fm/Ab]I can't [Gm7]give up that [Fm]quick.
My [Fm/Ab]life is a [Gm7]candle and a [Fm]wick.
You [Db]can put it out but you [Fm]can't break it down,
in the [Fm/Ab]end we are [Gm7]waiting to be [Fm]lit.
There's [Db]hope in the air,
there's [Fm]hope in the water,
but sadly not [Gm7]me,
your [Gm7b5]last serving [Fm]daughter.
[Eb/G]A friend is a friend [Fm]forever,
and a [Db]good one will never leave, [Fm]never.
But you've have [Fm/Ab]never been [Gm7]south of what [Gm7b5]grows off your [Fm]mouth,
you will [Fm/Ab]never under[Bbm7]stand, ever.[Fm]
You speak [Fm/Ab]minds handed [Gm7]down to [Fm]you,
by the [Fm/Ab]lies handed [Gm7]down by your [Fm]truth,
and your [Db]angels will dance at your[Fm] will,
will [Fm/Ab]mask your [Gm7]scrambling [Fm]youth.
I [Fm/Ab]forgave you you[Gm7]r short [Fm]comings,
and ig[Fm/Ab]nored your [Gm7]childish [Fm]behaviour.
Laid a [Db]kiss on your head,
and befo[Fm]re I left said, [Fm/Ab] [Gm7] [Fm]
