chordband » Asking Alexandria » Hopelessly Hopeful
[Intro :]F#m A
[Verse :]
E D
Staring eyes wide open gazing into nothing
F#m E
Running in place again, going through the motions
D F#m
In and out as the oceans, repeating
E D
Numb to the silence, to the absence of emotion
F#m
The sum of the script, nothing but a click in the rotation
E D
Sick of the peace of mind that goes along with keeping on
F#m
And I can't keep on going on
[CHORUS :]==
| E
| Inside it feels like I'm stuck here,
| D
| suspended, at best.. Underwhelming
| F#m
| What's wrong with me?
| E
| my conscious is calling
| D
| but the world isn't all
| F#m
| it's cracked up to be
| E D F#m
| I'm hopelessly hopeful that
| E
| I'm not stuck here suspended
| D F#m
| In a world I pretended was right for me
[Instrumental :]
E D F#m
E D F#m
[Verse :]
E
Strung out on the same old
D
Got an itch for something painful
F#m
To feel something real once
To remind myself it's not in my head
E D F#m
Sick of the calm coinciding with sticking in and with the line
And I can't keep on going on
[REPEAT CHORUS :]==
| E
| Inside it feels like I'm stuck here,
| D
| suspended, at best.. Underwhelming
| F#m
| What's wrong with me?
| E
| my conscious is calling
| D
| but the world isn't all
| F#m
| it's cracked up to be
| E D F#m
| I'm hopelessly hopeful that
| E
| I'm not stuck here suspended
| D F#m
| In a world I pretended was right for me
