[Verse 1]
                                     F
Hope is the promise of possibility
                   C          F                C   F
It's not much of a promise of anything really
                    C    F
Here's what you can do
                G       F
It's outta your hands
               C                              Am
Step up to the ledge and lean in so proudly


[Chorus]
                    F                  G      F
What do you have to say to yourself anymore
                               G            F
'Cause it's never gonna be the right time
                             G           F
It's never gonna feel like a good time
                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right time
            F              G
When you're really trying
            C              G   C
When you're really trying


[Verse 2]
                                       F
Can you remember when you were young
                   C           F         C   F
Oh, before all the therapy and sarcasm
                      C           F
See the ghosts in the graveyards
                   G       F
All your dreams realised
                 C                          Am
Knowing if you believe it, it can be done


[Chorus]
                    F                  G      F
What do you have to say to yourself anymore
                               G            F
'Cause it's never gonna be the right time
                             G           F
It's never gonna feel like a good time
                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right time
            F              G
When you're really trying
                C                      G    Bbm
Not when you're really trying, yeah-eh-eh


[Bridge]
               Dm
We'll know the truth
             Am           G           F
One day your kingdom will crumble in, babe
                     Fm
When they call you a failure
                Ab            G
They call you a fool, yeah-eh-eh
                   F   G
You know the truth
                   F   G
You know the truth
                         F   G
Yeah, you know the truth
F         G         F
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah


[Chorus]
                               G            F
'Cause it's never gonna be the right time
                             G           F
It's never gonna feel like a good time
                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right time
            F             G            F
When you're really trying, yeah-eh-eh


[Chorus]
                        G            F
It's never gonna be the right time
                             G           F
It's never gonna feel like a good time
                             G
No, it's never gonna be the right time
            F              G
When you're really trying
             F              C
Hey, are you really trying
   F
