Intro:
Dmaj7, F#min, Dmaj7, F#min, E
Dmaj7, F#min, Dmaj7, F#min, E, D, C#

1st verse:
F#m A E C#7
It was a dark and stormy night last night. Bitter dark.
F#m A E B
Rain fell in torrents. Stabbing its ghosts through the cold, and straight through our hearts.

Chorus:
D E F#m
I’ve been waiting in half-hearted sleep
E/G# A E/G# B
for a promise I half-meant to keep.
A/C# D E F#m
Just for hoping that hope still flies.
E/G# A E/G# B
Wipe the sleep out of our sleeping eyes.
Half-time rock extravaganza: F#m,A,B

2nd verse:
F#m A E D C#
Fog that is lifting, the specter of dreams we once had, speaks into the night
F#m A E B
Slumber is over, sunlight is streaming through, come into the light.
2nd chorus is the same as the first.
Repeat the intro chords but skip the D and go straight to C# the second time through.

Bridge:
C D C#m C D C#m
I know hope has not forgotten me, I know I’m waking from the longest dream
F#m Am Bm C D Am Bm C D E
I know, I know, I know, I know

Last chorus is different:
D Bm
I’ve been waiting in half-hearted sleep
D Bm
for a promise I half-meant to keep.
D A
Just for hoping that hope still flies.
F#m D Bm
Wipe the sleep out of our sleeping eyes.
F#m D Bm F#m D Bm F#
And hope still flies, and hope still flies, and hope still flies.
