I Hope I Think I Know

This is a great song that sounds even better when played with an acoustic guitar.


Intro:

D Em G5 BM A G5

Verse 1:
D                          Em       G5
They’re trying hard to put me in my place
     Bm           A          G5  
And that is why I gotta keep running.
     D                     Em  G5
The future’s mine and it’s no disgrace,
     Bm              A           G5 
’cos in the end, the past means nothing.

Verse 2:
    D                          Em    G5
You tell me I’m free then you tie me down,
     Bm              A            G5
And from my chains I think it’s a pity.
D                       Em       G5
What did it cost you to wear my crown,
     Bm                   A            G5
You don’t like it, so why don’t you admit it.

Bridge:
Asus2                Em
I feel a little down today?
       G5               D
And I ain’t got much to say?
             Asus2                Em
You’re gonna miss me when I’m not there,
               G5
And you know I don’t care, You know I don’t care.

Chorus:
D     A                 G5
As we beg and steal and borrow,
                 D        A
Life is hit and miss, and this
   E             G5
I hope I think I know.
                   D         A
If I ever hear the names you call
     Em          G5               F#m7/4
And if I stumble catch me when I fall,
                  Asus2                     D     Em    G5
’cos baby after all, You’ll never forget my name
Bm    A               G5    D
     You’ll never forget my name.

Verse 3:
D                 Em       G5
You tried hard to me in my place, 
     Bm            A         G5
and that is why I gotta keep running.
     D                      Em    G5
The future’s mine and it’s your disgrace,
      Bm              A         G5
’cos in the end your life means nothing.
