[Verse 1]
Bm   D     A       E   Bm
I've taken so many down
D                A         E   Bm
I've helped them all to dismount
     D        A       E  Bm
I've followed so many down
D            A           E
I take their hand me downs
 
 
[Chorus]
E        Bm             D
All with hope, all with hope
     A                E
That emptiness brings fullness
    A       E           D
And loss of love brings wholeness
         Bm             D
All with hope, all with hope
     A         E      D
That emptiness brings fullness
E        A       E                      Bm D A E
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all

[Verse 2]
Bm              D
Everything that I believe
A                E
Crawls from underneath the streets
Bm           D
Everything I truly love
A              E
Comes from somewhere far above
Bm              D
Everything that I believe
   A                 E
Is wrong with you is wrong with me
Bm           D
Everything I truly love
  A                 E
I love in you and I love in me
 
 
[Chorus]
           Bm            D
So give me hope, give me hope 
     A         E      D
That emptiness brings fullness
E        A       E                      Bm
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all
 
 
[Bridge]
A                        E
You swear you can't swim the river
E
(I've become the beggar now)
E
(You've become the saint somehow)
A                             E
But I saw you running to jump in
E
(I've become the beggar now)
E
(You've become the saint somehow)
A                    E
I swore I'd never be your sinner
E
(I've become the beggar now)
E
(You've become the saint somehow)
A           Bm    A
'Til I held your sin
E
Hand me downs

[Verse 3]
Bm             D
Now you ask me why I'm here
    A                E
The same as you, I'm scared, it's fear
Bm              D
I've become the beggar now
    A                 E
And you've become the saint somehow
Bm                  D
Twist the words and place the blame
    A                   E
And tell me now, aren't we the same?
Bm                     D
Tripping in our yellow feet
A             E
Checking underneath our sheets
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
         Bm            D
For some hope, give me hope
     A    E
That emptiness brings fullness
    A                   D
And loss of love brings wholeness
E       Bm            D
Give me hope, give me hope
     A    E
That emptiness brings fullness
    A       E                           Bm
And loss of love brings wholeness to us all
