C#m E It's empty in the valley of your heart C#m E The sun, it rises slowly as you walk C#m Away from all the fears E B E A E 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 Chorus: E A E But I will hold on hope E A E And I won't let you choke A E B On the noose around your neck C#m A E And I'll find strength in pain C#m A E And I will change my ways A E B 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 Chorus 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 land E A E So make your siren's call E A E And sing all you want A E B I will not hear what you have to say C#m A E Cause I need freedom now C#m A E And I need to know how A E B To live my life as it's meant to be Chorus: And 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA C#m E B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
