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

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
