Tom: F
F Bb F Bb F Eb Bb
[Verse 1]
F Bb F Bb
I'm just hoping for the best, waiting out of sight
F Eb Bb
The light is for the rest of them still on their way tonight
Bb F Eb Dm C
Yes and you from the front room call to someone in the hall
Bb
The light is for the rest of them
[Verse 2]
F Bb F Bb
The soldiers are all joking, smoking in the dark
F Eb Bb
And the story of the sirens wakes one with a start,
F
Yes and you when talk around the table hushed
Eb Dm C
Stood to leave it well enough
Bb
The soldiers are all smoking in the dark
[Bridge]
Dm C
I would never ask you twice
Bb Gm
It would never come to mind
Dm C
To leave you in this night alone
Bb Gm
Or take it from you blind
Dm C
Or to ever speak my peace
Bb Gm Eb
To be anything but kind
Bb
I really wish that he was here tonight
[Verse 3]
F Bb
I wake to the fire that falls
F Bb
Beside you as you sleep
F Eb Bb
The faces on the wall, more company than I can keep
F
Yes and you hold a ribbon in your hand
Eb Dm C
In a picture from back then
Bb
Beside you as you sleep
F Bb F
I’m just hoping for the best
Bb F Eb Bb F
I’m just hoping for the best
