G         C        D           C
Never again will I make that mistake
G                 C                D      C
I asked for forgiveness, when I needed to beg
G                  C        D       C
I just hoped there was some greater plan
G              C           D             C
Jesus might forgive me but I don't think she can

Am                      D
When you're sadder than sad,
Am                          D
that's when hope drives you mad

G           C             D        C
Like a slot machine, hope lets you win
G            C              D           C
But just enough to keep you coming back again,
G                 C             D            C
But it don't take money, hope's crueler than that
G            C                 D       C
It robs your spirit, and gives nothing back

Am                      D
When you're sadder than sad
Am                          D
That's when hope drives you mad
Am                 D
When nothing feels true
Am            G   C   D   C
Hope preys on you

G   C   D   C

G     C     D     C     G     C     D     C
sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad

F             G        F         G
Hope sets you up, then leads you on,
F              D                F      D
Just so it can push you further down,
        F      G
Further Down

G              C            D             C
Hope paves the way, to disappointment and pain
G         C           D         C
Follow it down, it'll drive you insane,
G            C               D        C
Please don't fall for hope's friendly disguise.
G            C               D        C
Tear off its mask and you'll see only lies

Am                      D
When you're sadder than sad,
Am                          D
that's when hope drives you mad

G                 C           D          C
Sometimes I break down, and I hope and I pray
G              C                   D           C
And I start to believe things will turn out my way
G                 C                 D             C
But I end up with heartaches now my tears are all spent
G             C          D    C
So hopefully, I'll never hope again

Am                      D
When you're sadder than sad
Am                          D
That's when hope drives you mad
Am                 D
When nothing feels true
Am            G   C   D   C
Hope preys on you

G   C   D   C

G     C     D     C     G     C     D     C     G
sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad...sad
