It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
Chorus
But F I will Bb* hold on F hope
And F I won't Bb* let you F choke
Bb* On the noose a-F-round your C neck
And Dm I'll find Bb* strength in F pain
And Dm I will Bb* change my F ways
I'll Bb* know my F name as it's C called again

Verse 2
'Cause I have other Dm things to fill my F time
You take what is Dm yours and I'll take F mine
Now let me at the Dm truth
Which will re-F-fresh my C broken F mind Bb* F
So tie me to a Dm post and block my F ears
I can see widows and Dm orphans through my F tears
I know my call de-Dm-spite my faults
And des-F-pite my C growing F fears Bb* F
Repeat Chorus: (miss out post-chorus fill, end on an F and let ring )
Verse 3
So come out of your Dm cave walking on your F hands
And see the world Dm hanging upside F down
You can understand de-Dm-pendence
When you F know the C maker's F hand Bb* F
So F make your Bb* siren's F call
And F sing Bb* all you F want
I Bb* will not F hear what you C have to say
Cause Dm I need Bb* freedom F now
And Dm I need Bb* to know F how
To Bb* live my F life as it's G meant to be
