LYRICS
 
(Verse 1)
Man, you really know how to get someone down
Everything was fine, until you came around
 
(Pre-Chorus 1)
And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds
After all wasn't I the one who said
To keep your feet on the ground
Man, you really brought me back down
 
(Chorus 1)
Hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
And they say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
 
(Verse 2)
You got me tied up but I stay close to the window
And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go
 
(Pre-Chorus 2)
And hope that someday that I just float away
And forget every cynical thing you said
When you gonna hear me out
Man, you really bring me down
 
(Chorus 2)
Hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
And they say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
 
(Bridge)
Reality will break your heart
Survival will not be the hardest part
It's keeping all your hopes alive
When all the rest of you has died
So let it break your heart
 
(Chorus 3)
And hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
 
Hold onto hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
And they say dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me

It's perfect! Thank you so much ^^
For the first shape of the pre-course, you can make life easier by playing open e string instead of that 5th fret B string. Makes the awkward shape more manageable. It does mean you have to variate the picking pattern a little bit, but it'll take a novice like me months to play the chord otherwise... Just a thought. The tab is amazing, thanks for the work !!
