FmTheAbre is a Gm7man that I Fmknow,

for FmsevAbenteen Gm7years, he never Fmspoke.

DbGuess he had nothing to Fmsay,

he FmopeAbned his Gm7mouth on Gm7Judgement DFmay.

I FmlisAbtened with Gm7all of my Fmmight,

but was FmscaAbred by the Gm7look in his Fmeyes.

Like Dbhe'd already lost the Fmfight,

and FmtheAbre was no Gm7hope Gm7ever in sFmight.

No Dbhope in the air,

no Fmhope in the water,

not even for Gm7me,

Gm7your last serving dFmaughter.

EbWhy fear Cm7death, be Abscared of Fm7living,

our Bbmhearts are small and FmeveAbr thinning.

BbmThere is no hope FmeveAbr of winning,

oh, Abwhy fear Gm7death, be Gm7scared of lFmiving.

FmI hAbave Gm7seen men Fmprovoked,

and FmI hAbave seen Gm7lives revokFmed,

and I Dblooked at my life and Fmchoked.

FmFroAbm there no Gm7more Gm7ever I sFmpoke.

FmI cAban't Gm7give up that Fmquick.

My FmlifAbe is a Gm7candle and a Fmwick.

You Dbcan put it out but you Fmcan't break it down,

in the FmendAb we are Gm7waiting to be Fmlit.

There's Dbhope in the air,

there's Fmhope in the water,

but sadly not Gm7me,

your Gm7last serving dFmaughter.

Eb/GA friend is a friend Fmforever,

and a Dbgood one will never leave, Fmnever.

But you've have FmnevAber been Gm7south of what Gm7grows off your mFmouth,

you will FmnevAber underBbm7stand, ever.Fm

You speak FmminAbds handed Gm7down to Fmyou,

by the FmlieAbs handed Gm7down by your Fmtruth,

and your Dbangels will dance at yourFm will,

will FmmasAbk your Gm7scrambling Fmyouth.

I FmforAbgave you youGm7r short Fmcomings,

and igFmnorAbed your Gm7childish Fmbehaviour.

Laid a Dbkiss on your head,and Fmbefore I left said "stay FmawaAby from Gm7fleeting Fmfailure".

There'sDb hope in the air,

there's Fmhope in the water,

but sadly not Gm7me,

your Gm7last serving dFmaughter.

F5Eb5FBb5FAb5F

N.C.

Pick up your rope Lord, sling it to me,

if we are to battle I Gm7must not be wFmeak.

Gm7And give us your strength world, and your fFmoodAb and your water,

oh, Fsus4I am your Fmsaviour, your Gm7last serving dFmaughter.

There's Dbhope in the air,

there's Fmhope in the water,

but sadly not Gm7me,

your Gm7last serving dFmaughter.

There's Dbhope in the air,

there's Fmhope in the water,

but sadly not Gm7me,

your Gm7last serving dFmaughter.
