(Em) / ||(G) / (D) / |(C) / (Em)

(Verse)
Well, I’ve (G)seen the pain (D) and I’ve seen the (C)sorrow
(Em) Well, I witness it every (G)single day
It kind of (D)makes me wish that there isn’t a to-(C)morrow
'Cause I’ve heard (Em)all the lies, back to back (G)over and over again
But it don’t (B)ever end, no, it won’t ever end

(Chorus)
Hope stands for (Em)hold on, pain ends
(G)Where’s the joy when you need it?
It (D)makes you want to get down on your knees and (C)cry
But (Em)crying don’t make it end, so (G)why do you keep doing it?
I’ve (D)asked myself about a hundred thousand (B)times
He said, how long till you (Am)give up
(B) Quit, and (C)just lay down and (Em)die? (G) (D) (C)

(Verse)
(Em) Well, I promise you, you (G)can make it
(D) Out here in this (C)world
(Em) You ain't always gotta (G) live it
(D) Oh, if a boy or a (C)girl 
(Em) You ain't gotta have a lot of (G) money
'Cause the real (D)treasure' buried deep in your (C)soul
(Em) You're always at war with some-(G)body
He's always (D)telling you to give up and (B)let go

(Chorus)
Hope stands for (Em)hold on, pain ends
(G)Where’s the joy when you need it?
It (D)makes you want to get down on your knees and (C)cry
But (Em)crying don’t make it end, so (G)why do you keep doing it?
I’ve (D)asked myself about a hundred thousand (B)times
He said, how long till you (Am)give up
(B) Quit, and (C)just lay down and (Em) die? (G) (D) (C)

(Outro.)
No and (Em)crying don’t make it end, so (G)why do you keep doing it?
I’ve (D)asked myself about a hundred thousand (B)times 
He said, how long till you (Am)give up
Quit, and (B)just lay down and die?
