Hopes Go Astray

Just write a letter and mail it to yourself
Read it out loud but to no one else
Pick your pocket a measure of time
And never leave these memories behind

You'll sing 'til tomorrow
And the days that will follow
But it's never the same
When you [A7feel you're insane
On the bed where you [A7lay
There's a plan that was [Am7]made
But it's never the same
When your hopes go astɾay

Just write a memo, and [Bm]hang it on [C7]your wall
A small [Em]ɾeminder, of why you're here at all
So look around, and [Bm]groove to [C7]the sound
Let's see those feet ɾise up from the ground

You'll sing 'til tomorrow
And the days that will follow
But it's never the same
When you [A7feel you're insane
On the bed where you [A7lay
There's a plan that was [Am7]made
But it's never the same
When your hopes go astɾay

Now the princess washes dishes
She's done more harm than any good
I am a witness of hugs and [Bm]kisses
Loneliness is never understood

So paint a picture of things that aren't ɾeal
Remember shame when it's time to [C7]kneel
And don't forget the things that you [A7say
Could all [Em]come back to [C7]you [A7some other day

You'll sing 'til tomorrow
And the days that will follow
But it's never the same
When you [A7feel you're insane
On the bed where you [A7lay
There's a plan that was [Am7]made
But it's never the same
When your hopes go astɾay
Hopes go astɾay.
