GHope grows between cracks in the asphault
In the Emdowntown ghetto streets that contour 
The gDovernment housing intentions of my Gheart
No one notices the daisies don't care
About Emgang related violence
As long as they get enough Dair and water and sun
They're all just fCine
EmWho would've thought it but life is finding a Gway
Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pDain
There's a mEman down here somewhere between
The GSaturday cartooons and the dirty magazines
He's rDaising the dead in the graveyards
Where Cwe've laid down our dreams 
His name is GHope 
GHope stands high on the 15th floor
On a CEmhristmas tree perched about the ledge of a fortress
of Dsteel that's trying to hard to be somebody's hGome
As it sees my attention from I-85 though the thEmrows of the day
Were still writhing inside
I Dlifted my head as I drove home that night and knew
CEverything was gonna be fine
EmWho would've thought it but life is finding a Gway
Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pDain
There's a mEman down here not worried or afraid 
That some pGolitician forgot all the promises he made
And he's rDaising the dead in the graveyards
Where Cwe've laid down our dreams 
His name is HGope
His name is HopCe        
Everybody needs a littDle         x2
His name is HopCe        
Everybody wants a littDle          x2
His name is HopCe        
Everybody needs a littDle
Em   G   D   C
There's a mEman down here not worried or afraid 
That some pGolitician forgot all the promises he made
And he's rDaising the dead in the graveyards
Where Cwe've laid down our dreams 
His name is HGope
GCan you hear him outside he's been singing all night
He's saying Emwhen you gonna come out from behind
These Dpaper thin walls, your cardboard box reCalities

Chords in this song · guitar

Hope grows between cracks in the asphault

In the downtown ghetto streets that contour

D G

The government housing intentions of my heart

No one notices the daisies don't care

About gang related violence

As long as they get enough air and water and sun

They're all just fine

Em G

Who would've thought it but life is finding a way

Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pain

There's a man down here somewhere between

The Saturday cartooons and the dirty magazines

He's raising the dead in the graveyards

Where we've laid down our dreams

His name is Hope

Hope stands high on the 15th floor

On a Christmas tree perched about the ledge of a fortress

D G

of steel that's trying to hard to be somebody's home

As it sees my attention from I-85 though the throws of the day

Were still writhing inside

I lifted my head as I drove home that night and knew

Everything was gonna be fine

Em G

Who would've thought it but life is finding a way

Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pain

There's a man down here not worried or afraid

That some politician forgot all the promises he made

And he's raising the dead in the graveyards

Where we've laid down our dreams

His name is Hope

Everybody needs a little x2

His name is Hope

Everybody wants a little x2

His name is Hope

Everybody needs a little

Em G D C

There's a man down here not worried or afraid

That some politician forgot all the promises he made

And he's raising the dead in the graveyards

Where we've laid down our dreams

His name is Hope

Can you hear him outside he's been singing all night

He's saying when you gonna come out from behind

D C

These paper thin walls, your cardboard box realities
