First, props to Joshua Bray (version 3) for giving me the basis of this, but there are 
crucial bass notes missing from his chords.  Names of chords are approximate for 
simplicity's sake and chord forms are below

Capo: 4th Fret

Verse 1: (pt.1)
                  Am (x02210@1)           C/GIt's (3x555x@1)empty in the valley of your heart
                  Am (x02210@1)          C/GThe (3x555x@1)sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                  AmAway (x02210@1)from all the fears
            C/G (3x555x@1)         C/B (x2555x@1)  C (x32010@1)   F (133211@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C
And all the faults you've left behind

Verse 2: (pt.1)
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: (pt.2)
    C (x32010@1)    F (133211@1)   CBut (x32010@1)I will hold on hope
    C (x32010@1)     F (133211@1)   CAnd (x32010@1)I won't let you choke
F (133211@1)  C (x32010@1)    GOn (320003@1)the noose around your neck
    Am (x02210@1)      F (133211@1)         CAnd (x32010@1)I'll find strength in pain
    Am (x02210@1)   F (133211@1)       CAnd (x32010@1)I will change my ways
F (133211@1)          C (x32010@1)                 GI'll (320003@1)know my name as it's called again

Verse 3: (pt.1)
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

Verse 4: (pt.1)
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

Chorus: (pt.2)
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

Verse 5: (pt.1)
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand

Chorus 2: (pt.2)
So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say
Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

Chorus: (pt.2)
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
