Chorus:
        Bb            Dm7
Hear my hope, let it echo
         Gm7
In every soul that needs
          Eb
Something to believe
        Bb              Dm7
Take my hand, never let go
     Gm7
Even one soft sound
                 Eb
It can shake the hardest ground
    F          Gm              Eb                Bb
And even if we die striving to find the peace we lost
   F                   Gm                  Eb
At least we'll know we tried, didn't stand by
             F
With fingers crossed
           Bb                Dm7
Raise your voice, light the fire
         Gm7                          Eb
'Til our hopes and fears will reach a billion ears
          Bb               Dm7
Lend your breath, join the choir
        Gm7
Let the music span
          Eb
O'er this broken land
    F               Gm          Eb                Bb
And many years from now, if any live to hear this song
  F           Gm                  Eb              F
A story about how all Hell joined hands and sang along
     Gm   F    Bb       Eb
It begins with just one note
     Cm              Gm             Eb               Gm    F
A crescendo 'til the end, no matter what it takes to stay afloat
        Dm
Hear my hope

Let's get Emily and go
    Am
No, how can you be so cold-hearted?
Dm                         Eb
Everybody dies if we don't do this

And so be it, don't resist

Or what?
                     Am
I'll take your other eye

Just try
                 Dm
Lute, this isn't what we talked about

Abel, please
   Eb
We don't have time for this

Shut your mouth, abomination

Abel, you can stop this
Am
Abel?

Abel, please
 Dm
Enough!

How am I supposed to handle the pressure?

  Dear dad, tell me what you would've done
F
 Too bad that I'm not your braver son

I wish that I could be anybody else
Gm                     Am
I'm supposed to do something

Am I, am I supposed to do something?
     Eb                                 C
Do I run, do I dare, can I grant my own prayer?
      F                         C              F
Get a grip, grow a pair, let me stop you right there

 We got you

We need to be stronger

We've done all we can, there's no way (No way)
               F
No one left to save the day
      G
It's okay
                    Am
You would risk your life
               F                C
For souls that Heaven sought to kill
   G                 Am
We cannot just stand by
             F                      G
It's time to match your strength of will

Take my hand (Just for a day)

Never let go

It can shake the hardest ground

  Why don't you help them, you double-dealing manipulator?
Dm                                  A
  What's in it for me? I don't work for free

You want help? Well, you know the fee
Gm           Eb                D
I will not reward a snake like you
                                 Cm
You'll watch them die unless you do
                   Ab
Liar, you wouldn't dare
Gm                 F    C
Quid pro quo, it's only fair
    Cm           C
You really are a demon, pet
    F                       G
You knew my game the day we met

Chorus:
        Db               Fm
Hear my hope, let it thunder
            Bbm
Across this prideful ring

'Til every last soul sings (Aw, xxxx it, come on)
        Db
Take my hand (We'll take your hand)
            Fm
Feel the wonder (Wait, what?)

We'll change our destiny (What the xxxx is happening?)
    Ab              Bbm         Gb                Db
And many years from now, if any live to hear this song

The story of all we love together, we are strong (Stop it right now)
     Bbm Ab   Db       Gb
It began with just one note (No, no-no-no-no, no)
     Ebm             Bbm                   Gb
A crescendo 'til the end no matter what it takes (Stop it, I hate this)

(You're ruining everything)

Hear my hope
