The Milk Carton Kids - Hope Of A Lifetime Chords & Tabs

Capo 3

Intro: Dm / Dm / G / G


C                              Am
There's a light that's shining now
F                      C
And a calm wind in the pine
C                          Am   
For the fate of a fearsome travesty
Dm
Seems to have forgotten me
Fmaj7
Seems to have forgotten me

C                       Am
If it hasn't learned by now
F                      C  
Where I've hid so very long
C                             Am 
I'll come safely out into the silence found
Dm
In the wake of its passing on
Fmaj7
In the wake of its passing on


F                   C              Dm             G
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold a promise in the air
F                                      C
That's the way they used to find their own way home
Dm            G
By the stars, on their own
Dm            Fmaj7
By the stars, on their own

C                         Am
While I pray for Promised Land
F                     C
To replace all I have made
C                           Am
Darkness steals the light I bear
Dm
And the hope of a lifetime fades
Fmaj7
The hope of a lifetime fades


BRIDGE: Dm / Dm / G / G / C / C / F / F / Dm / G / C / C


C                   Am 
In the newfound reverie
F                C
Of quiet peace I found
C                        Am
Freedom comes from being unafraid
Dm
Of the heartache that can plague a man
Fmaj7
The heartache that can plague a man


F                   C              Dm             G
A Spartan smile and westward stare hold a promise in the air
F                                      C
That's the way they used to find their own way home
Dm            G
By the stars, on their own
Dm            Fmaj7
By the stars, on their own
