Song: Hopes Go Astray
Artist: Northern Pikes
Tabbed by: Luke Maclane
Intro: G
Em Am C G
Just write a letter and mail it to yourself
Em Am C D
Read it out loud but to no one else
Em Am C G
Pick your pocket, a measure of time
Em Am C D
Never leave those memories behind
CHORUS
G D
And you'll sing till tomorrow
Em C
and the days that will follow
G D
but it's never the same
Am C
when you feel you're insane
(G D Em C)
On the bed where you lay, there's a plan that was made
(G D Am C) G
but it's never the same when your hopes go astray
G-Am-C-D
(Em Am C G)
Just write a memo and hang it on your wall
(Em Am C D)
Small reminder of why we're here at all
(Em Am C G)
So look around and groove to the sound
(Em Am C D)
Let's see those feet rise up from the ground
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE
Bm C D G
Now the princess washes dishes
Em Am C D
she's done more harm than any good
(Bm C D G)
I am the witness of hugs and kisses
(Em Am C D)
loneliness is never understood
(G D Em C)
la la la la la.....
(Em Am C G)
So paint a picture of things that are real
(Em Am C D)
Remember shame when it's time to kneel
(Em Am C G)
and don't forget the things that you say
(Em Am C D)
could all come back to you some other day
(CHORUS) x 2
