     Dm
This heart don't count on the  wicked
These hands don't fight at  all
This mind don't do what
it's told to
These eyes don't cry
                    Gm
at all Don't cry at all
    F      A#
hey oh hey oh
      A                 Gm
These eyes don't cry at all
    F      A# C
hey oh hey oh

Chorus:
      A#
This heart don't count on
     F         Gm
the wicked We face this world
 Dm        A#
alone When all that want is to
F              Gm          A   C
break you Turn anger into hope

Within this city of villains
I walk these streets alone
Where everyone is a stranger
Their eyes turn me to stone
Turn me to stone, hey-oh… hey-oh…
Your eyes turn me to stone, hey-oh… hey-oh…

Chorus:
This heart don't count on the wicked
We face this world alone
When all they want is to break you
Turn anger into hope
I'm telling you, tonight
I swear to tear out these nails
From the cross I've bared for giving you
control of me
This heart don't count on the wicked
This anger turns to hope, it turns to hope

Dm                F
Calling from the mountain tops
         Gm                A
Rain is falling from the sky above
         Dm                 F
They surround you with the darkest
                  Gm
thoughts til you drown
         A
in pessimistic talk
            Gm
You say you don't care
       F
if the atom drops
            A#
You say you don't care
        A
if the world is lost
              Gm
They'll never break you
             F
if you're strong enough
               A#
They'll never change you
        C                    Dm
if you turn your anger into hope

Chorus:
      A#
This heart don't count on
     F         Gm
the wicked We face this world
  Dm       A#
alone When all that want is to
F              Gm         Dm
break you Turn anger into hope
                  A#
I'm telling you tonight I
          F
Swear to tear up these
            Gm
nails from across the bed
    Dm
For giving you control of me
     A#
This heart don't count on the
F           Gm
wicked This anger
         Dm
turns to hope
              A#
We turn it to hope
               F
We turn it to hope
              Gm
We turn it to hope
