Hope For Now

      Em
This highway's dark and empty.
                C                                Am
Just miles and miles of endless road.
            Em
I've got a sickness pounding in my head.
            C                            Am
I'm at the mercy of the ghost.
                      Em                      C                  Am
What will it take to live as if I would not another day?
                    Em                    C             Am
To live without despair, and to be without disdain.
                C        D           Em                   Am
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
                  C             D                Em               Am
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?

  Em                   C                    Am
I sought after, after reasons to stay.
       Em            C     Am
I was lost, I was lost.
          Em
Then the sky turned black,
           C                   Am
And the rains poured down.
         Em                   C          Am
I was waiting, waiting to be found. oh, no.

           C            D            Em                   Am
How can I instill such hope, but be left with none of my own?
                 C             D                 Em              Am
What if I could sing just one song and it might save somebody's life?

              Em                    C       Am
Then I would sing all that I could sing
               C            D                                Em           Am
Cause that is when, when I feel that I'm not just counting time.
           Em                  C      Am
Oh when I sing all that I can sing
       C           D                           Em        Am
Maybe just for a moment things would seem all right.
           C    D             Em   Am
Oh when I sing,    oh when I sing
           C     D            Em     Am            C    D   Em   Am   C   D   Em
Oh when I sing,    oh when I sing
