intro: E F G  x2

B             C#m 
Every street is dark
           E             Ebm
And folding out mysteriously
B                          C#m     B
Where that's the chance we take to be
              C#m
Always working
                E                     Ebm
Reaching out for a hand that we can't see

                   E
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
               F#                 B   G#m
It's the last thing thats holding me

B        C#m                 E
Invitation to the last dance
                      Ebm
And then its time to leave
B                      C#m            B
That's the price we pay when we deceive
          C#m             E
One another/animal mother
                  Ebm
She opens up for free

                   E
Everybody's gotta hold on hope
               F#                 B   A
It's the last thing that's holdin me
                     Ebm
Look at the talk box
                   E
And in frustration
At the station
 E     F#         G     A
There hides the cowboy

(solo)
A
                     Ebm
Look at the talk box
                   E
And in frustration
At the station
 E     F#         G     A
There hides the cowboy
                       E                 
His campfire flickering on the landscape

B                   C#m
That nothing goes on
                       E
But time still goes on
                           Ebm
And through each life of misery
                   E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
               F#               B 
It's the last thing that's holding me
                   E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
               F#               B 
It's the last thing that's holding me
                   E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
               F#               B 
It's the last thing that's holding me
