High hopes    (video)

 

    Am ~

 

     Am

1. Monday morning runs to Sunday night,

                     - Am

    screaming         slow me down before the new year dies.

Am

    Won't take much to kill a lovin' smile,

                       Am

    and every mother with a baby cryin in her arms sings.

 

G

    Give me help, give me strength,

Am

    give a soul a night of fearless sleep !

G

    Give me love, give me peace,

  C                                                          - E

don't you know these days you pay for        everything !

 

                   Am

+  Got high hopes ! (4x)  

 

                 - Am

2. Comin'           from the city, comin' from the wild,

                - Am

    I see a           breathless army breakin' like a cloud.

                            - Am

    They're gonna           smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes,

                     - Am

    before the           meek inherit, they'll learn to hate themselves.

 

                                            Am

+  CHORUS     +  Got high hopes ! (4x)

 

+  instrumental = 2 verses

 

                                            Am

+  CHORUS     +  Got high hopes ! (4x)

 

         Am

3. So tell me someone, now, what's the price,

                 - Am

    I wanna         buy some time and maybe live my life.

 

 

 

 

                 - Am

    I wanna          have a wife, I wanna have some kids,

                  - Am

    I want to          look in their eyes and know they stand a chance.

 

G

    Give me help, give me strength,

Am

    give a soul a night of fearless sleep !

G

    Give me love, give me peace,

  C                                                         - E

don't you know these days you pay for        everything !

 

                   Am

+  Got high hopes ! (5x)   - - -

 

     - - - - - - - - - - - -

+  I got high hopes !  (3x)            + Am  ~
