C What do you do when hope is all but gone? G You need a brother to lean on E But your brother's gone Am Your sister's in the wrong part of town F Fm C I took a walk to remember ecstasy F Fm Dm G It's not today, not even yesterday Songs of praise all very well Their voices swell They tug at sadness Like love tugging at your sleeve Is it worth the pain To walk into the void again? In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light Light that's found beyond your present situation And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation Is your belly fat, is your man a twat? Do in-growing hairs provide you with strange fascination? The highlight of your day is plucking all the roots away You took a walk to remember ecstasy It's not today, not even yesterday F Fm C In your darkest hour he is the tiniest light B The smallest of sparks Dm He's a tinderbox C He's a flaming torch Dm Pinch your self quite hard C In a place that hurts Dm If it doesn't work C Ask your friend to comply Dm And if they hit the spot C You can let yourself cry F And when the teardrops stop, E I will take you for a drive Am G# C I'll explain all I know about the spiritual side Life that's found beyond your present situation And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation Life that's found beyond your present situation And it's wide and it's broad, so stay to your destination Life that's found beyond your present situation And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation Life that's found beyond your present situation And it's wide and it's broad, beyond all estimation You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  C  Dm  E  F  Fm  G  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
