As Hope And Promise Fade Ukulele Chords

Intro B Em x4

   Em       Am      Em
as hope and promise fades
        Em  Am         Em
and the sun forgets to rise
    Am     Asus4   Am
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
B
but it's better I stay dry
             Em         Am
No more than two drinks away
     Em
from crying

B Em x2

Em      Am     Em
Stare into the glass
     Em          Am      Em
and wait for the time to pass
    Am        Asus4   Am
And thank you for the offer
B
but you know I must decline
             Em         Am
No more than two drinks away
     Em
from crying

      Am           Asus4  Am
There used to be a time
             Em
When I could hold my head up high
   Am             Asus4     Am
My life stretched out before me
B
and rivers flowed with wine
Am  Asus4       Am
and had my love beside me
Em
and everything was fine
    Am                  B
But now the ride is over
                            Em
It's hard to say goodbye

   Em       Am      Em
As hope and promise fade
    Em       Am       Em
and midnight turns to day
    Am      Asus4    Am
I'd love to drown my sorrow
B
but I cannot tell a lie
             Em         Am
No more than two drinks away
     Em
from crying
