Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
There is a man that I know,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
for seventeen years, he never spoke.
Db Fm
Guess he had nothing to say,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Gm7/b5 Fm
he opened his mouth on Judgement Day.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
I listened with all of my might,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
but was scared by the look in his eyes.
Db Fm
Like he'd already lost the fight,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Gm7/b5 Fm
and there was no hope ever in sight.
Db
No hope in the air,
Fm
no hope in the water,
Gm7
not even for me,
Gm7/b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.
Eb Cm7 Ab Fm7
Why fear death, be scared of living,
Bbm Fm/Ab
our hearts are small and ever thinning.
Bbm Fm/Ab
There is no hope ever of winning,
Ab Gm7 Gm7/b5 Fm
oh, why fear death, be scared of living.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
I have seen men provoked,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
and I have seen lives revoked,
Db Fm
and I looked at my life and choked.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Gm7/b5 Fm
From there no more ever I spoke.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
I can't give up that quick.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
My life is a candle and a wick.
Db Fm
You can put it out but you can't break it down,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
in the end we are waiting to be lit.
Db
There's hope in the air,
Fm
there's hope in the water,
Gm7
but sadly not me,
Gm7/b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.
Eb/G Fm
A friend is a friend forever,
Db Fm
and a good one will never leave, never.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Gm7/b5 Fm
But you've have never been south of what grows off your mouth,
Fm/Ab Bbm7 Fm
you will never understand, ever.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
You speak minds handed down to you,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
by the lies handed down by your truth,
Db Fm
and your angels will dance at your will,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
will mask your scrambling youth.
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
I forgave you your short comings,
Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
and ignored your childish behaviour.
Db Fm Fm/Ab Gm7 Fm
Laid a kiss on your head,and before I left said 'stay away from fleeting failure'.
Db
There's hope in the air,
Fm
there's hope in the water,
Gm7
but sadly not me,
Gm7/b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.

Pick up your rope Lord, sling it to me,
Gm7/b5 Fm
if we are to battle I must not be weak.
Gm7/b5 Fm/Ab
And give us your strength world, and your food and your water,
Fsus4 Fm Gm7/b5 Fm
oh, I am your saviour, your last serving daughter.
Db
There's hope in the air,
Fm
there's hope in the water,
Gm7
but sadly not me,
Gm7/b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.
Db
There's hope in the air,
Fm
there's hope in the water,
Gm7
but sadly not me,
Gm7/b5 Fm
your last serving daughter.
