Hopes Too High Lyrics

CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: C
Listen baby, I won't leave no trace
Gonna light out of here for some cleaner place
I'll be sitting in the backseat with my hair in my face
Gone fast, as freedom on good wind
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
~ Dm F G
Here in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
No place to run for a girl like me
Whole lot of used to's and supposed to be's
I want to burn like August, shine like gold dust
Where everyday living can't hold me
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
~ Dm F G
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
INSTRUMENTAL: Dm Em Dm Am Dm Em F G
N.C. C
So when I reach for you from some way down place
Don't be a stranger who won't show his face
I got no promise, but these words I say
I carry you, you carry me
CHORUS:
N.C. F ~ G
If I got my hopes too high
This is no easy kind of life
~ Dm F G
See in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
I can't keep from trying
I see it in my mind's eye, touch me real as daytime
N.C. C
I can't keep from trying
