[Verse]
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 G 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 G 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]
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]
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
Am C Am C Am C G C F C
[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
