Prisoner Of Hope
Recorded by Johnny Lee
(Capo on 3)
[Intro]
G D A D A
D G
My friends say she's sophisticated and free
D G
Never fall for an outlaw like me
F#m Em D
Too high and re- fined. I'm just wastin' my time
A G F# A
Forget her
D G
But I'm kinda caught in the web
D G
The lady has gone to my head
F#m Em D
I no longer cope, I'm a prisoner of hope
A G F#m A
since I met her
D Bm D Bm
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win
G D G D
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin
Em G
If she would just count me as one of her friends
A Em A
Somehow I know where the friendship would end
D Bm D Bm
With her in my arms and her by my side
G D G D
With her in my days and her in my nights
Em G
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy
A Em A
Prisoners of hope never want to be
[Instrumental]
D G A D A
D G
Yesterday I caught her in a glance
D G
More than a coinci- dence
F#m Em D
But she turned a- way as if to say
A G F#m A
I'm a- bove it
D G
She says love's a trick of the night
D G
And it's all done with mirrors and lights
F#m Em D
When I act a fool like some kid back in school
A G F#m A
She loves it
D Bm D Bm
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win
G D G D
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin
Em G
If she would just count me as one of her friends
A Em A
Somehow I know where the friendship would end
E C#m E C#m
With her in my arms and her by my side
A E A E
With her in my days and her in my nights
F#m A
Makin' up love out of pure fantasy
B F#m B
Prisoners of hope never want to be free
E C#m E C#m
I'm a prisoner of hope, just tryin' to win
A E A E
The smile in her eyes, the touch of her skin
F#m A
If she would just count me as one of her friends
B F#m B fade
Somehow I know where the friendship would end?
