Laura Marling - Hope In The Air (I Speak Because I Can) chords
Start Jamming...
There [F] is a [Fm] man that I know
For [C] seventeen years he [Fm] never spoke
[C#] Guessed he had [Fm] nothing to say
He [G] opened his mouth on [Fm] judgment day
I listened with all of my might
But was scared by the look in his eyes
[C#] Like he'd already [Fm] lost the fight
And there was no [A#m] hope ever [Fm] in sight
[C#] No hope in the [Fm] air, no hope in the water
Not even [G] for me, your life's [Fm] serving done
[D#] [Cm] Why fear death, [Fm] be scared of living
[A#m] Oh hearts are small [Fm] and ever thinning
[A#m] There is no [Fm] hope ever of winning
Why [C] fear death, be [Fm] scared of living
I [Gm] have seen [Fm] men provoked
And I have seen lives revoked
[C#] And I looked at my [Fm] life and I choked
From there [G] no more [F] ever [Fm] I spoke
I [C] can't give up that [Fm] quick
My life is a [C] candle and a wick
[C#] You can put it out [Fm] but you can't break it down
In the [G] end we are waiting [Fm] to be left
[C#] There's hope in the [Fm] air, there's hope in the water
But sadly not me, [F] your life's [Fm] serving frozen
[C] A [D#] friend is a friend [Fm] forever
[C#] And a good one will never [Fm] leave
But you've [C] never been south
[A#] And what rolls off your [Fm] mouth
You will never understand ever
You speak [Gm] minds handed down to [Fm] you
By the [Gm] light handed down by [F] your truth
And [C#] your angels the [Fm] dust your will
Will [Gm] mask your [Fm] scrambling will
I [Gm] forgave you your [Fm] shortcomings
And ignored [G] your childish [Fm] behavior
Let [C#] a kiss on your head
[Fm] And before I left said stay away [Gm] from leaving [Fm] failure
[C#] There's hope in the air, [Fm] there's hope in the water
But sadly [A#] not me, your [Fm] life's serving frozen
Pick
[F] [Fm]
[F] up your rope Lord, sling it [C#] to me
If we are to battle [F] I must not be weak
And give us your strength, [Fm] word, and your food and your water
Oh I [F] am your savior, your life's [Fm] serving daughter
[C#] There's hope in the [Fm] air, there's hope in the water
But [F] sadly not me, your [Fm] life's serving daughter
There's [C#] hope in the air, [Fm] there's hope in the water
But no hope for [A#m] me, your [Fm] life's serving daughter
[F]
