Hopeless Love Chords & Tabs
This is my first tab.
I'm not sure if Daphne Loves Derby plays it this way but I wanted a way to play this
with a capo that isn't in alternate tuning.
Please comment/rate, this is the only version in standard so far so it's a work in
constructive criticism is appreciated.
Some of the chords are strange and cumbersome to write so bear with me.

Verse 1:
Esus4 B7/11
Two hundred miles away from home.
Esus4 B7/11 Esus4
Two hundred miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs.
B7/11
But you don't care at all
Esus4 B7/11
You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the
Esus4 B7/11
Water filled my lungs,
Esus4 B7/11
Oh my lungs.
Esus4 B7/11
You demand to be chased for your love.
Esus4 B7/11 Esus4
My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long.
B7/11
But you don't care at all.
Esus4 B7/11
There's nothing I can do to draw you close to me.
Pre-Chorus:
E Asus2 Bb A
Can you take this silence like a pill so I can breathe again?
E Asus2 Bb A
I've been trying to ignore the best part of you.

But I'm still hoping that I'll be with you somehow,
Asus2
Somehow.
Chorus:
E Esus4
Please be home tonight.

I'll die if I don't get a chance to make this just right.
E Esus4
I'm sorry but I can't

Forget about the way I feel,
Asus2 Esus4 Esus4
Every time you're here.
Esus4 B7/11 Esus4 B7/11
Verse 2:

What would it take for me to be with you?
Esus4 B7/11 Esus4
I swear I'd rip my heart out if you said you'd be impressed
B7/11
Please be impressed.
Esus4 B7/11 Esus4 B7/11
I'd go so far to please you but I bet you wouldn't care at all
Esus4 B7/11
Oh at all.
