Hope Morrison(Chords)

	        
Intro: Em    Bm    Am    G D 

verse 1 
       Em       Bm              Am 
I met you in a biker bar in longview 
        G               D           Em 
Just a shaggy kid with nothing to lose 
       Bm                     Am 
So I swaggered up to make my move 
               G  D 
Wait for your que 

verse 2 
              Em           Bm              Am 
I'd like to think that it happened all gracefully 
               G                  D        Em 
I'll make you laugh and take you home with me 
         Bm                       Am      G  D 
But it wasn't how I'd like it to be 

Pre-Chorus 
       Em                        Bm 
'Cause then walked in a problem boy with a beard 
         Am                       G   D 
With a spider tattoo behind his left ear 
         Em               Bm                       Am     G D 
Saying 'Back away or get set to swallow your own teeth' 
          F# 
But you know me 


        Em              Bm 
'Cause we're all going ninety to nothing 
 Am 
Looking for someone 
 G            D 
Looking for something 
 Em               Bm                Am              G    D 
Searching for a crutch or a cup to pour us in hope morrison 


Instrumental 
Em    Bm    Am    G  D 

verse 3 
              Em 
Now keep in mind 
           Bm                       Am 
She had a shadow on her left green eye 
         G                     D           Em 
And her hands were a bit more shaky than mine 
          Bm                        Am 
I can't imagine he's the greatest guy 
          G  D 
To this dime 

verse 4 
            Em          Bm                 Am 
So here I stand with a soda bottle in my hand 
           G                   D      Em 
Say 'I'll protect her' but I know I can't 
           Bm                    Am          G          D 
But I was raised to be a better man then to stand for this 

Pre-Chorus 
    Em              Bm 
And he got in a few shots to the face 
    Am              G             D               Em 
And I got in a few shots to the space around his head 
                Bm                      Am 
I thought 'I'm dead' he threw me in an alley, took my keys 
           G       D 
And drove away as I bled 


        Em              Bm 
'Cause we're all going ninety to nothing 
 Am 
Looking for someone 
 G           D 
Looking for something 
 Em             Bm 
Searching for a crutch or a cup 
     Am             G    D 
To pour us in hope morrison 


Bridge 
C                                               Em   D 
  And as I lay I see the door open up from the bar 
C                                                Em   D 
  I see a pretty brown halo like a light in the dark 
C                                                    Em    D 
  She patched me up and picked me off of the gravel ground 
           C                                  B  
She said ?My name is Hope? and she asked me if I could stand around 

 
(one strum each *sing quietly*) 
        Em              Bm 
'Cause we're all going ninety to nothing 
 Am 
Looking for someone 
 G            D 
Looking for something 
 Em              Bm 
Searching for a crutch or a cup 
    Am              G    D   
To pour us on hope morrison 
(Carry out the G and D and sing louder) 

     Em                 Bm 
And now I've slowed to nothing from ninety 
    Am                     G         D 
I don't need to wait for someone to find me 
 Em              Bm        Am              G    D    Em 
Houses full of heroes to adore us in hope morrison
