I'm hoping for[Em][A]
A song that will come to me while I'm as[Em]leep
'Cause I can't lie
So [G]I can't write~~[A][C]
[C]Eyes in the da[A]rk
And it has occurred to me
That I have s[Em]pent my whole life[G]
Starting over, oh oh[A][C]
Cry, pining fo[A]r
The things that I could have been
I could have b[Em]een a gold digger
I could have been a [G]gunslinger
I could have been a l[A]ittle bigger
I could of been an o[C]ld ringer
I could've been a [Em]pop singer
I could've been a p[C]op singer[G]
I could've been a p[C]op singer[D#]
But what I am is a silence
(verse 2)

[Em]I crawled into a spotlight
[G]Cleared my throat and I closed my eyes
[A]I sang a song that I didn't like
[C]I sang a song that I didn't like
[Em]And I was left in the long night
[G]I hoped to God that I wouldn't die
[A]Before I gave it an honest try
[C]Now I try And I try And I try
[Em]To recall a little white light
[G]To put me back into my right mind
[A]I dig a hole and see what I can find
[C]I dig a hole and see what I can find
[Em]I've been burying my whole life
[G]Beneath the lie that it looks like
[A]Beneath the song that I didn't write
[C]Beneath the song that I didn't write
(verse 3)
[Em]I crawled into a spotlight
[G]And in my state I was a sorry sight
[A]I sing a song til I get it right
[C]I sing a song til I get it right
[Em]I sing a song til I get it right
[G]I sing a song til I get it right
[A]I sing a song til I get it right
