Bb B [Verse 1] Bb B Bb I come to sing a song about hope Gm I'm not in-spired much right now, but Eb even so Cm I came out here to sing a song, so here Eb I go Cm Eb I guess I think that if I tinker long Cm enough, one might a-ppear Eb And, look, it's here F One verse is done [repeat Bb B intro] The work's begun [Verse 2] Bb B Bb I come to sing a song about hope Gm In spite of everything ridiculous and Eb sad Cm Though I'm be-yond belief, depressed, Eb confused, and mad Cm Eb Well, I got dressed, I under-estimated Cm how much that would take Eb I didn't break Eb Until right now F I sing of hope [repeat Bb B intro] And don't know how [Bridge] Eb So maybe I can substitute "strength," Dm Cm Because I'm strong, I'm strong enough I got through lots of things I didn't Eb think I could And so did you F I know that's true [Verse 3] Bb B Bb And so, we sing a song about hope Gm Though I can't guarantee there's Eb something real be-hind it Cm I have to try to show my daughters I Eb can find it Cm Eb And so to-day, when life is crazy and Cm impossible to bear Eb It must be there F Fear never wins Cm That's what I hope Cm See?
