VERSE 1
                  Dm             F
It's empty in the valley of your heart
                  Dm             F
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                  Dm             F                Am     F Bb F
Away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind
                  Dm             F
The harvest left no food for you to eat
                  Dm             F
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
                  Dm             F           Am     F Bb F
But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat

CHORUS
    F      Bb      F        F       Bb      F
But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke
Bb     F     C
On the noose around your neck
    Dm        Bb          F        Dm     Bb        F
And I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways
     Bb   F               C
I'll know my name as it's called again

VERSE 2
                   Dm                F
Cause I have other things to fill my time
                 Dm                  F
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
                  Dm                 F        Am     F   Bb F
Now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind
               Dm                F
So tie me to a post and block my ears
                     Dm                 F
I can see widows and orphans through my tears 
               Dm                    F          Am      F    Bb F
I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears

CHORUS
    F      Bb      F        F       Bb      F
But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke
Bb     F     C
On the noose around your neck
    Dm        Bb          F        Dm     Bb        F
And I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways
     Bb   F               C
I'll know my name as it's called again

VERSE 3
                    Dm                   F
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
                  Dm             F
And see the world hanging upside down
                   Dm                  F        Am      F   Bb F
You can understand dependence when you know the maker's hand

MIDDLE
   F         Bb      F        F    Bb      F
So make your siren's call and sing all you want
  Bb       F                     C
I will not hear what you have to say
      Dm     Bb      F       Dm     Bb      F
Cause I need freedom now and I need to know how
   Bb      F            C
To live my life as it's meant to be
