Guided By Voices - Hold On Hope

                [Intro]
E F# G
E F# G G
 
[Verse]
B
Every street is
C#m
Dark and folding
E            D#m
Out mysteriously
E                         C#m
Well that's the chance we take
B
To be always working
C#m
Reaching out for
E                    D#m
A hand that we can't see
 
[Chorus 1]
                  E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          G#m
It's the last thing that’s holding me
 
[Verse]
B        C#m
Invitation to the last dance
E                     D#m
And then its time to leave
E                   C#m            B
That's the price we pay when we deceive 
One another
C#m
Animal mother
E                 D#m
She opens up for free
 
[Chorus 1]
                  E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          B
It's the last thing that’s holding me
 
[Chorus 2]
A
Look at the talk box
D#m
In mute frustration 
E
At the station
E     F#         G      A
There hides the cowboy
 
B C#m E D#m E F# B
 
[Chorus 2]
A
Look at the talk box
D#m
In mute frustration 
E
At the station
E     F#         G     A
There hides the cowboy
 
[Bridge]

His campfire flickering
G#m               E
On the landscape
 
[Verse]
B
But nothing grows on
C#m
But time still goes on
E                     D#m
Through each life of misery
 
[Outro]
                  E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          G#m
It's the last thing that’s holding me
                  E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          A
It's the last thing that’s holding me
                  E
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          B
It's the last thing that’s holding me
