Am             C 
It's empty in the valley of your heart 
                  Am            C 
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk 
                  Am 
Away from all the fears 
            C             G    C       F C 
And all the faults you've left behind

                    Am              C 
The harvest left no food for you to eat 
                  Am              C 
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see 
                    Am 
But I have seen the same 
           C        G    C        F C 
I know the shame in your defeat

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

             Am                      C 
Cause I have other things to fill my time 
                 Am                  C 
You take what is yours and I'll take mine 
                  Am 
Now let me at the truth 
              C         G      C   F C 
Which will refresh my broken mind

               Am                C 
So tie me to a post and block my ears 
          Am                            C 
I can see widows and orphans through my tears 
                Am 
I know my call despite my faults 
    C          G       C      F C 
And despite my growing fears

    C      F       C 
But I will hold on hope 
    C       F       C 
And I won't let you choke 
F            C           G 
On the noose around your neck

    Am        F           C 
And I'll find strength in pain 
    Am     F         C 
And I will change my ways 
F            C            G           C 
I'll know my name as it's called again

                    Am                   C 
So come out of your cave walking on your hands 
                  Am             C 
And see the world hanging upside down 
                   Am 
You can understand dependence 
         C        G       C     F C 
When you know the maker's hand

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

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