City And Colour 
Little Hell 
Hope For Now
Amthis hallway's dark and empty 
just miles and miles oFf endless roadD  
AmI've got a sickness pounding in my head
I'm at the mercy of thFe ghosts D  
AmBut what it would take to live 
As if I would not anFother dayD  
AmTo live without despair 
And to be without anFother desdainD  
CHORUS:
How can I instilFl such hopeG  
But be left wiAmth none of my own?D  
what if I could sing F  
Just one songG  
And it might save somAmebody's lifeD  
AmI sought after 
after reasons Fto stay D  
Ami was lost 
i was losFt D  
AmThen the sky turned black
And the rains poFured downD  
AmI was waiting 
waiting to be found F  D  
oh, no 
Chorus:
How can I instilFl such hopeG  
But be left wiAmth none of my own?D  
what if I could sing F  
Just one songG  
And it might save somAmebody's lifeD  
Amthen I would sing 
All that I can sing D  
FBecause that is when 
GWhen I feel that I'm not counting time D  
AmOh, and I sing 
All that I can sing D  
FMaybe just for the moment 
GThings would seem all right D  
FOh, and I sing G  
AmOh, and I sing D  
FOh, and I sing G  
AmOh, and I sing D
