Prisoner Of Hope
Recorded by Johnny Lee
(Capo on 3)
[Intro]
G D A D A
My friends say she's Dsophisticated and Gfree
Never Dfall for an outlaw like Gme
Too high and re- F#mfined. I'm just Emwastin' my Dtime
Forget her A  G  F#  A  
But DI'm kinda caught in the Gweb
The Dlady has gone to my Ghead
I no longer F#mcope, I'm a Emprisoner of Dhope
since I met her A  G  F#m  A  
I'm a Dprisoner of Bmhope, just Dtryin' to Bmwin
The Gsmile in her Deyes, the Gtouch of her Dskin
If Emshe would just count me as Gone of her friends
ASomehow I Emknow where the Afriendship would end
With Dher in my Bmarms and Dher by my Bmside
With Gher in my Ddays and Gher in my Dnights
EmMakin' up love out of Gpure fantasy
APrisoners of Emhope never Awant to be
[Instrumental]
D G A D A
Yesterday DI caught her in a Gglance
DMore than a coinci- Gdence
But she turned a- F#mway Emas if to Dsay
I'm a- Above it G  F#m  A  
She Dsays love's a trick of the Gnight
And it's Dall done with mirrors and Glights
When I act a F#mfool like some Emkid back in Dschool
She Aloves it G  F#m  A  
I'm a Dprisoner of Bmhope, just Dtryin' to Bmwin
The Gsmile in her Deyes, the Gtouch of her Dskin
If Emshe would just count me as Gone of her friends
ASomehow I Emknow where the Afriendship would end
With Eher in my C#marms and Eher by my C#mside
With Aher in my Edays and Aher in my Enights
F#mMakin' up love out of Apure fantasy
BPrisoners of F#mhope never Bwant to be free
I'm a Eprisoner of C#mhope, just Etryin' to C#mwin
The Asmile in her Eeyes, the Atouch of her Eskin
If F#mshe would just count me as Aone of her friends
         B              F#m                       Bfade
Somehow I know where the friendship would end?
