Between the Cracks (3:00 am) John Mark McMillan Hope Anthology Volume 1 This is the acoustic version from his first album Verse 1: G Hope grows between cracks in the asphalt Em7 In the downtown ghetto streets that contour C G The government housing intentions of my heart G And no one notices the daisies don't care Em7 About gang related violence C As long as they get enough air and water and sun D They're all just fine Chorus: Em7 G Who would've thought it but life is finding a way D Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pain Em7 There's a man down here somewhere between G The Saturday cartoons and the dirty magazines D He's raising the dead in the graveyards C Where we've laid down our dreams G His name is Hope Verse 2: G Hope stands high on the fifteenth floor Em7 On a Christmas tree perched about the ledge of a fortress C G Of steel that's trying too hard to be somebody's home Em7 As it sees my attention from I-85 though the throws of the day [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/john-mark-mcmillan/312098.html ] Were still writhing inside C I lifted my head as I drove home that night and knew D Everything was gonna be fine Chorus: Em7 G Who would've thought it but life is finding a way D Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pain Em7 There's a man down here not worried or afraid G That some politician forgot all the promises he made D And he's raising the dead in the graveyards C Where we've laid down our dreams G His name is Hope Verse 3: G Can you hear him outside he's been singing all night Em7 He's saying when you gonna come out from behind C D These paper thin walls, your cardboard box realities Chorus: Em7 G Who would've thought it but life is finding a way D Through this wasteland of cynics, concrete, and pain Em7 There's a man down here not worried or afraid G That some politician forgot all the promises he made D And he's raising the dreams in the graveyards C Where we've laid down our DEAD G His name is Hope CHORDS: G Em7 C D 3 3 3 2 3 3 3 3 0 0 0 2 0 2 2 0 2 2 3 x 3 0 x x |
