[Verse]
B
Every street is
C#m
Dark and folding
E            Ebm
Out mysteriously
E                         C#m
Well that's the chance we take
B
To be always working
C#m
Reaching out for
E                    Ebm
A hand that we can't see

[Chorus 1]
                  E 
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          G#m 
It's the last thing that’s holding me

[Verse]
B        C#m
Invitation to the last dance
E                     Ebm
And then its time to leave
E                   C#m            B
That's the price we pay when we deceive 
One another
C#m
Animal mother
E                 Ebm
She opens up for free

[Chorus 1]
                  E 
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          B 
It's the last thing that’s holding me

[Chorus 2]
A
Look at the talk box
Ebm
In mute frustration 
E
At the station
E     F#         G      A
There hides the cowboy

[Solo]    
B       C#m     E  Ebm   E       F#       B

[Chorus 2]
A
Look at the talk box
Ebm
In mute frustration 
E
At the station
E     F#         G     A
There hides the cowboy

[Bridge]
His campfire flickering 
G#m               E    
On the landscape

[Verse]
B
But nothing grows on
C#m
But time still goes on
E                     Ebm
Through each life of misery

[Chorus 1/Outro] 
                  E 
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          G#m
It's the last thing that’s holding me
                  E 
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          A
It's the last thing that’s holding me
                  E 
Everybody's got a hold on hope
         F#                 B          B
It's the last thing that’s holding me
