Strum
D-DU-UDU
 It's empty in the valley  of your heart
 The sun, it rises slowly  as you walk
 Away from all the fears
 And all the faults  you've left behind
 The harvest left no food  for you to eat
 You cannibal, you meat-eater,  you see
 But I have seen the same
 I know the shame  in your defeat
 But I  will hold  on hope
 And I  won't let  you choke
On  the noose around  your neck
 And I'll  find strength  in pain
 And I  will change  my ways
I'll  know my name  as it's called again
 Cause I have other  things to fill my time
 You take what is yours  and I'll take mine
 Now let me at the truth
 Which will refresh  my broken mind
 So tie me to a post  and block my ears
 I can see widows  and orphans through my tears
 I know my call despite my faults
 And despite  my growing fears
 But I  will hold  on hope
 And I  won't let  you choke
On  the noose around  your neck
 And I'll  find strength  in pain
 And I  will change  my ways
I'll  know my name  as it's called again
 So come out of your cave  walking on your hands
 And see the world hanging  upside down
 You can understand dependence
 When you know  the maker's hand
 So make  your siren's call
 And sing all  you want
 I will  not hear  what you have  to say
 Cause I  need freedom now
 And  I need  to know how
 To live  my life  as it's meant  to be
 But I  will hold  on hope
 And I  won't let  you choke
On  the noose around  your neck
 And I'll  find strength  in pain
 And I  will change  my ways
I'll  know my name  as it's called again
 Enjoy! :)

It's empty in the [Am]valley of your [C]heart
The sun, it rises [Am]slowly as you [C]walk
Away from all the [Am]fears
And all the [C]faults you've [G]left [C]behind

The harvest left no [Am]food for you to [C]eat
You cannibal, you [Am]meat-eater, you [C]see
But I have seen the [Am]same
I know the [C]shame in [G]your [C]defeat

But [C]I will [F]hold on [C]hope
And [C]I won't [F]let you [C]choke
[F]On the noose [C]around your [G]neck

And [Am]I'll find [F]strength in [C]pain
And [Am]I will [F]change my [C]ways
[F]I'll know my [C]name as it's called [G]again

Cause I have [Am]other things to fill my [C]time
You take what is [Am]yours and I'll take [C]mine
Now let me at the [Am]truth
Which will [Am]refresh my [G]broken [C]mind

So tie me to a [Am]post and block my [C]ears
I can see [Am]widows and orphans through my [C]tears
I know my call despite my [Am]faults
And [C]despite my [G]growing [C]fears

But [C]I will [F]hold on [C]hope
And [C]I won't [F]let you [C]choke
[F]On the noose [C]around your [G]neck

And [Am]I'll find [F]strength in [C]pain
And [Am]I will [F]change my [C]ways
[F]I'll know my [C]name as it's called [G]again

So come out of your [Am]cave walking on your [C]hands
And see the world [Am]hanging upside [C]down
You can understand [Am]dependence
When you [C]know the [G]maker's [C]hand

So [C]make your [F]siren's [C]call
And [C]sing [F]all you [C]want
I [F]will not [C]hear what you [G]have to say

Cause [Am]I need [F]freedom [C]now
And[Am] I [F]need to know [C]how
To [F]live my [C]life as it's [G]meant to be

But [C]I will [F]hold on [C]hope
And [C]I won't [F]let you [C]choke
[F]On the noose [C]around your [G]neck

And [Am]I'll find [F]strength in [C]pain
And [Am]I will [F]change my [C]ways
[F]I'll know my [C]name as it's called [G]again

Enjoy! :)
