[Verse]
Gmaj7       
The optimist
A Dmaj7 Gmaj7                 D
■ ■     Swears hope dies last ■
A Dmaj7 G                              Gmaj7                     Dmaj7
■ ■     And shoots the lamplight clean ■     from the brakeman's hand 
G                       D                   
It's always the darkest right before the end
G D A G
■ ■ ■ ■
                  D A             G                    D
And you could say ■ ■ that no one here really believes ■
A        G                    D                                 A
■ In the future in perfection that things aren't what they seem ■
       G                            D                    
Like a sucker with a scratcher like a fuckup with a dream
G                               D                 A    
Stabbing at the ashtray like it might give up the truth
        G                              Gmaj7  D                 
Like it might finally confess who else you're nearly faithful to

[Verse]
Gmaj7                                           D
Picked me up and drove by the light of the moon ■
A G                                         D   
■ Four hours to the desert from the drawing room
A7 A A7          G                          D                A   
■  ■ This year's wine tasted suspicious but just enough like love
    G                         D                      A   
God must be with the outcasts 'cause when I call you come
G D A F#m G
■ ■ ■ ■   ■
                      D
And at this late hour ■
A                   G                D
■ Won't have to beg mercy for defeat ■
A                      G                        
■ Just drop your hands ■ the way love taught you
D             A     
Ash white and voodoo
G                   D
Deathless as a weed ■
A G                        D               A   
■ Since I lied to keep you I'm starting to feel
     G                Gmaj7 Bm      Bm7     D                    
Like how long can you love  someone for the weakness they conceal

[Verse]
            D                       
Must find a way love must find a way
      A                              Bm7          Bm  
After every desperate measure just a miracle will take


[Chorus]
                        D         Asus4  D  
Love must find a way ah love must find a way
      A7    A                        G                
After every desperate measure just a miracle will take


[Verse]
D                                 
■ Roll the stone away I want to go
A D                                            
■ Where everyone is perfect beneath their robes
A D                                     
■ Honey take me down to the water's edge
A                Asus4                     D  
■ Mama said that we could get my hip brace wet
G                      D                        
Maybe we are living in a state of grace returned
G                                  D   A           
Maybe faith like this has at least one practitioner
G                        D              A   
Rings up to the knuckles sutures in the bath
G                        D                   A   
Here lie the born losers God won't take them back
