G D A D A

                     D                 G
My friends say she's sophisticated and free
      D                       G
Never fall for an outlaw like me
                 F#m             Em         D
Too high and re- fined. I'm just wastin' my time
           A G F# A
Forget her 

    D                       G
But I'm kinda caught in the web
    D                   G
The lady has gone to my head
            F#m         Em          D
I no longer cope, I'm a prisoner of hope
                A G F#m A
since I met her 

      D           Bm         D         Bm
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win
    G            D         G            D
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin
   Em                         G
If she would just count me as one of her friends
A         Em             A
Somehow I know where the friendship would end

     D         Bm       D         Bm
With her in my arms and her by my side
     G         D        G         D
With her in my days and her in my nights
Em                    G
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy
A            Em         A
Prisoners of hope never want to be

[Instrumental]
D G A D A

          D                 G
Yesterday I caught her in a glance
D                   G
More than a coinci- dence
                  F#m Em       D
But she turned a- way as if to say
       A       G F#m A
I'm a- bove it 

    D                          G
She says love's a trick of the night
         D                         G
And it's all done with mirrors and lights
             F#m            Em          D
When I act a fool like some kid back in school
    A        G F#m A
She loves it 

      D           Bm         D         Bm
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win
    G            D         G            D
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin
   Em                         G
If she would just count me as one of her friends
A         Em             A
Somehow I know where the friendship would end

     E         C#m      E         C#m
With her in my arms and her by my side
     A         E        A         E
With her in my days and her in my nights
F#m                   A
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy
B            F#m        B
Prisoners of hope never want to be free

      E           C#m        E         C#m
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win
    A            E         A            E
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin
   F#m                        A
If she would just count me as one of her friends
B         F#m            B                     fade
Somehow I know where the friendship would end?
