These are Hopeless Son chords by Sam Barber for Piano and Ukulele.
[Intro]
Cmaj7 Em G Cmaj7
Em G
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Time stamped and broken
Taken every other step
Em G
in the shade
Cmaj7
And I'd raise my voice loud
Em
But you wouldn't hear it anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
Maybe I'm the hopeless son
Waiting on the rain to come
Em D
and wash me away
Cmaj7
Shattered by the only one
That could ever make a dead heart
Em D Cmaj7
run, strung by lace
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em
Hung and framed, I'm so confused
D
When the only place left for me,
Cmaj7
it ain't next to you
Em
A world away, far from view
D
Nailed to your door, you'd
still stare right through
[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj7
My life as it passed by
Cmaj7
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Em D
Am I a stranger to you?
Cmaj7
And just like chalk on a state line
Cmaj7
Staring straight ahead
as you drive by
Em
Am I a stranger to you?

[Interlude]
D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
Spun out and smoking
Em D
There's only myself to blame
Cmaj7
And I'm slowly loathing
Em D
There's gotta be another way
[Pre-Chorus]
Cmaj7
Maybe I'm the hopeless son
Waiting on the rain to come
Em D
and wash me away
Cmaj7
Shattered by the only one
That could ever make a dead heart
Em D Cmaj7
run, strung by lace
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Em
Hung and framed, I'm so confused
D
When the only place left for me,
Cmaj7
it ain't next to you
Em
A world away, far from view
D
Nailed to your door, you'd
still stare right through
[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj7
My life as it passed by
Cmaj7
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Em D
Am I a stranger to you?
Cmaj7
And just like chalk on a state line
Cmaj7
Staring straight ahead as you drive by
Em
Am I a stranger to you?
D Cmaj Em D
[Outro]
Cmaj7
Darling, my life has passed by
Cmaj7
Steady as a wall when you walk by
Em D
Am I a stranger to you?
Cmaj7
Just like chalk on a state line
Cmaj7
Staring straight ahead
as you drive by
Em D C
Am I a stranger to you?
