Helplessly Hoping
Crosby, Stills & Nash
Intro
Am7 C G D
Am C G D
Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers near-by, awaiting a word.
Am C G D
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit he runs wishing he could fly
Am C G D
only to trip at the sound of good-bye...
Am C G D
Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders at the empty place inside
Am C G D
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries did he hear a goodbye
Am C G C/G
or even... hel-lo?
Chorus
G
They are one person, they are two a-lone, they are three to-gether,
G G7 C G
they are for...each other
Hammer an Am onto open strings - resolve to G
Am C G D
Stand by the starway you’ll see something certain to tell you confusion has its cost.
Am C G D
Love isn’t lying it’s loose in a lady who lingers, saying she is lost
Am C G C/G
and choking... on hello.
CHORUS
