Verse
G6sus4 C Em7/B
If there's one thing that I know
Csus2 C Fmaj7
It is that two shades of hope
C Csus2/B
One the enlightening soul
Am7 G6sus4
And the other is more like a hangman's rope
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 G7sus4
Well it's true, you may reap what you sow
Am7#5
But not that despair is the all-time low
Chorus
G7sus4C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Baby, hope deals the the ha- ardest blows

Verse
G6sus4 C Em7/B
There was once someone I loved
C Fmaj7
And his heart overflowed his cup
F C Csus2/B
And his shoes got covered in blood
Am7
Oh but he never knew
G6sus4
Cause he only looked up
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 G7sus4
Well he was a troubled soul
Am7#5 CsusG6sus4
And he saw pain more than most I know
Chorus
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Yet it was hope that dealt the ha- ardest blows
CGCCus2
Verse
G6suC4 Em7/B
And too the girl that holds the hand
C Fmaj7
Of a somewhat distant man
F C Csus2/B
Though she??d do everything she can
Am7 G6sus4
Still his heart set sail for a distant land
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 G7sus4
And she wonders sometimes if he knows
Am7#5 G6sus4
How she feels like a trampled rose
Chorus
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Baby, hope deals the the ha- ardest blows

Instrumental
C Csus2/G7sus4
Oooh, oh oh
Fmaj7 G7sC7sus4
Oooh, oh oh
Verse
G6sus4 C Em7/B
Well some people think their sins
C Fmaj7
Cause the cancer that's eating into them
F C Csus2/B
And the only way they can win
Am7 G6sus4
Is by the healing of somebody's hands on their skin
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 G7sus4 Am7#5 G6sus4
And pra-a-yin, but when the cancer does not go
Chorus
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Surely hope dealt the ha- ardest blows
CGCCus2
Verse
G6sus4 C Em7/B
And now all these truths are sold
C Fmaj7
With foundations below them
F C Csus2/B
That were dug out in winter's cold
Bridge
Am7#5 G6sus4 FmaAm7#54
When the world stole our young and prayed on the old
Outro
C G7sus4 Csus2 C
Well hope deals in the ha- ardest blows
Csus4 G6sus4 C
Yet I cannot help myself but hope
GCCus2
C Fmaj7
I guess that's why love hurts
G7sus4
And heartache stings
Am7#5
And despair is never worse
G7sus4
Than the despair that it brings
C G7sus4 Am7#5
But hope deals the ha- ardest blows, dear
C G7sus4 Fmaj7
The ha-ardest blows, dear
G7sus4 CsuC2 G7sus4
The ha-ardest blows
