Am 
this hallway's dark and empty  
                      F                                D 
just miles and miles of endless road 
Am 
I've got a sickness pounding in my head 
                      F                         D 
I'm at the mercy of the ghosts  

Am 
But what it would take to live  
                    F                        D 
As if I would not another day 
Am 
To live without despair  
                    F                                D 
And to be without another desdain 

CHORUS: 
                F                        G 
How can I instill such hope 
              Am                         D 
But be left with none of my own? 
                            F 
what if I could sing  
                   G 
Just one song 
                     Am                      D 
And it might save somebody's life 

Am 
I sought after  
              F                  D 
after reasons to stay  
Am 
i was lost  
         F                    D 
i was lost  

Am 
Then the sky turned black 
                F                         D 
And the rains poured down 
Am 
I was waiting  
                      F                  D 
waiting to be found  

oh, no  


Chorus: 

                F                        G 
How can I instill such hope 
              Am                         D 
But be left with none of my own? 
                            F 
what if I could sing  
                   G 
Just one song 
                     Am                      D 
And it might save somebody's life 
  
               


Am                 
then I would sing  
                         D  
All that I can sing  
F         
Because that is when  
G                                                D 
When I feel that I'm not counting time  

Am 
Oh, and I sing  
                         D 
All that I can sing  
F 
Maybe just for the moment  
G                                       D 
Things would seem all right  

F                   G 
Oh, and I sing  
Am                D 
Oh, and I sing  
F                   G 
Oh, and I sing  
Am               D 
Oh, and I sing
