Intro: G D A D A 

                     D                 G 
My friends say she's sophisticated and free 
      D                       G 
Never fall for an outlaw like me 
                 F#m             Em         D 
Too high and re- fined. I'm just wastin' my time 
           A G F# A 
Forget her  

    D                       G 
But I'm kinda caught in the web 
    D                   G 
The lady has gone to my head 
            F#m         Em          D 
I no longer cope, I'm a prisoner of hope 
                A G F#m A 
since I met her  

      D           Bm         D         Bm 
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win 
    G            D         G            D 
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin 
   Em                         G 
If she would just count me as one of her friends 
A         Em             A 
Somehow I know where the friendship would end 

     D         Bm       D         Bm 
With her in my arms and her by my side 
     G         D        G         D 
With her in my days and her in my nights 
Em                    G 
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy 
A            Em         A 
Prisoners of hope never want to be 

Instrumental 
D G A D A 

          D                 G 
Yesterday I caught her in a glance 
D                   G 
More than a coinci- dence 
                  F#m Em       D 
But she turned a- way as if to say 
       A       G F#m A 
I'm a- bove it  

    D                          G 
She says love's a trick of the night 
         D                         G 
And it's all done with mirrors and lights 
             F#m            Em          D 
When I act a fool like some kid back in school 
    A        G F#m A 
She loves it  

      D           Bm         D         Bm 
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win 
    G            D         G            D 
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin 
   Em                         G 
If she would just count me as one of her friends 
A         Em             A 
Somehow I know where the friendship would end 

     E         C#m      E         C#m 
With her in my arms and her by my side 
     A         E        A         E 
With her in my days and her in my nights 
F#m                   A 
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy 
B            F#m        B 
Prisoners of hope never want to be free 

      E           C#m        E         C#m 
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win 
    A            E         A            E 
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin 
   F#m                        A 
If she would just count me as one of her friends 
B         F#m            B                     fade 
Somehow I know where the friendship would end?
