Hopes Go Astray

[G]

[Em]Just write a [Am]letter and m[C]ail it to your[G]self

[Em]Read it out l[Am]oud but to n[C]o one els[D]e

[Em]Pick your poc[Am]ket, a measu[C]re of tim[G]e

[Em]Never leave[Am] those m[C]emories behi[D]nd

And you'll[G] sing till t[D]omorrow

and the [Em]days that will[C] follow

but it's[G] never the sam[D]e

when you[Am] feel you're i[C]nsane

([G] [D] [Em] [C])
On the bed where you lay, there's a plan that was made

([G] [D] [Am] [C])                                    [G]
but it's never the same when your hopes go astray

[G] [Am] [C] [D]

([Em] [Am] [C] [G])
 Just write a memo and hang it on your wall

([Em] [Am] [C] [D])
 Small reminder of why we're here at all

([Em] [Am] [C] [G])
 So look around and groove to the sound

([Em] [Am] [C] [D])
 Let's see those feet rise up from the ground

(CHORUS)

 [Bm]Now the [C]princess [D]washes d[G]ishes

 [Em]she's done more[Am] harm than [C]any [D]good

([Bm] [C] [D] [G])
 I am the witness of hugs and kisses

([Em] [Am] [C] [D])
 loneliness is never understood

([G] [D] [Em] [C])
la la la la la.....

([Em] [Am] [C] [G])
So paint a picture of things that are real

([Em] [Am] [C] [D])
Remember shame when it's time to kneel

([Em] [Am] [C] [G])
and don't forget the things that you say

([Em] [Am] [C] [D])
could all come back to you some other day

(CHORUS) x 2
