Tanooki Suit - Hope Rides Alone

      [Intro]

 E  G#m  F#  E  F# G#m F#


[Verse 1]

 E             G#m  B
I am an unhappy man 
B     G#m                                  B
I was built with no purpose beyond just to satisfy 
E            G#m
The tireless thoughts of these curious minds
F#
But what went wrong 
E                     D#m  G#m
They sought to tear me apart 
G#m           B                    E      D#m    G#m              B             E
They tried to stop this mechanical heart of mine I was never enough to ever be loved in his eyes 


[Pre-chorus]

G#m                F#
Have you forgotten me 
        E
Did you erase what you've done 
G#m
How could anyone  
 F#               E B
Accept a broken son 

E


[Chorus]

G#m
Hope rides alone 
F#            E F#
Hope rides alone

G#m F#


[Verse 2]

E
There's now another one like me 
B             G#m
Cradled in my father's arms 
         F#                       E
Like the golden boy he's built to be 
E         B
Someday, somehow, someway 
G#m                     B
I will make them pay for all of his mistakes 

What is life 
                         G#m
What right has he have to decide 
                  B
Am I so much of a failure in his mind 
                        E
I am more than he could ever be 
G#m                B
I proudly wear his disgrace 


[Pre-chorus]

G#m                F#
Have you forgotten me 
        E
Did you erase what you've done 
G#m
How could anyone  
 F#               E 
Accept a broken son 


[Bridge]

          G#m
Go on and abandon me 

Erase every trace 
F#               E
Set fire to everything 

G#m
How could anyone  
 F#               E 
Accept a broken son 

G#m B G#m B E B E 

B                  G#m       B
Let the mad doctor rebuild me 
                 G#m
There's no going back 
B
Let him arm me to the teeth 
F#
I bring hell with me 
E
On broken wings 
D#m       F#       E
On broken wings 
                       G#m
Is there no joy to be found in this life 
            F#               E
I no longer can call it mine 
                       G#m
Is there no joy to be found in this life 
                  F#   
It's no longer mine


[Outro]

E
Hope rides alone
G#m
Hope rides alone
F#         E   B
Hope rides alone
F#         G#m
Hope rides alone
