Hopes Too High(Chords)

	        CAPO: 1 



Intro: C 

Listen baby, I won't leave no trace 

Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place 
       D 
I'll be sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face 
                              G 
Gone fast, as freedom on good wind 



N.C.        F     ~   G 
If I got my hopes too high 
           C            F 
This is no easy kind of life 
~          Dm          F                G 
Here in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime 
N.C.           C 
I can't keep from trying 




No place to run for a girl like me 

Whole lot of used to's and supposed to be's 
         D 
I want to burn like August, shine like gold dust 
                                G 
Where everyday living can't hold me 



N.C.        F     ~   G 
If I got my hopes too high 
           C            F 
This is no easy kind of life 
~         Dm          F                G 
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime 
N.C.           C 
I can't keep from trying 



Instrumental: Dm   Em   Dm   Am   Dm   Em   F   G 


N.C.     C 
So when I reach for you from some way down place 

Don't be a stranger who won't show his face 
 D 
I got no promise, but these words I say 
                       G 
I carry you, you carry me 


 
N.C.        F     ~   G 
If I got my hopes too high 
           C            F 
This is no easy kind of life 
~         Dm          F                G 
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime 
               C 
I can't keep from trying 
               Dm          F                G 
I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime 
N.C.           C 
I can't keep from trying
