Verse:
                  C#m            E
It's empty in the valley of your heart
                  C#m           E
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                  C#m
Away from all the fears
            E             A    E         A  E
And all the faults you've left behind

Verse:
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:
    E      A       E   
But I will hold on hope
    E       A       E
And I won't let you choke
A      E     B
On the noose around your neck

    C#m       A           E
And I'll find strength in pain
    C#m    A         E
And I will change my ways
     A       E            B
I'll know my name as it's called again

Interlude: C#m  E  C#m  E  C#m  E  A  E  A E

Verse (muted):
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 (muted):
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:
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 (muted):
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:
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:
And 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
