Hope Alone Chords

(ver. 1)
Indigo Girls
[Intro]
F#m D E A D A Bm7 E
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
Let's not drag this out
A7
Everything's in motion
D                A              Bm7
Though I've only ever loved you kind
           E
And with devotion
  A
Remember when I met you
         A7
You were leaving from the start
          D             A                  Bm7
I thought one day you'd probably just come home
             E
And break my heart
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     Bm             A
It's funny what you know
    D              E
And still go on pretending
     Bm7
With no good evidence
A           D              E
You'll ever see that happy ending
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m D     E                A
You  were looking for your distance
    D            A
And sensing my resistance
    Bm7            E
You had to do your will
F#m D E                A
I     had to learn the hard way
D               A               Bm7
We were just an empty dream too big
    D             F#m D E A
For hope alone to fill
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
I know I'm a dreamer
A
So I'll give you that
D                A                Bm7
Still I hope I'm more than just a place
              E
You laid your hat
A
You're a land of secrets
A
Its only citizen
    D                A
And though I paid my dues
      Bm7           E
I was never allowed in
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
    Bm7       A
And so I am a stranger
D            E
Especially today
       Bm            A
'Cause I get sad and lonely
    D            E
And you get your way
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m D     E                A
You  were looking for your distance
    D            A
And sensing my resistance
    Bm7            E
You had to do your will
F#m D E                   A
I,    I  had to learn the hard way
D               A               Bm7
We were just an empty dream too big
    D             A
For hope alone to fill
 
 
[Bridge]
G
Holding on for change I know
   D             A
We never stood a chance
   G
So I could only wait
              E
And watch you slip right through my hands
 
 
[Chorus]
F#m D     E                A
You  were looking for your distance
    D            A
And sensing my resistance
    Bm7            E
You had to do your will
F#m D E                   A
I,    I  had to learn the hard way
D               A               Bm7
We were just an empty dream too big
    D             F#m
For hope alone to fill
 
 
[Outro]
D E A D A
