High Hopes by Kodaline
High Hopes
Capo: 4th fret
There’s a nice little fill in the verses and chorus with an Am-Am/G-F which I will
explain up here and note it below as ‘Fill’. It gets cluttery and inaccurate if filled in
with exact chord notations below.
First play the Am (assuming you’re using your index, middle and ring fingers), and then
move your pinky to the third fret on the low E string, and then to a barred F (E with
finger over the entire first fret). I use the barred F to get that nice bass line in the
fill, but you can use any other variation if you don’t care to much about it.
[VERSE 1]
C C/B Am F
Broken bottles in the hotel lobby,
C E7 Fill--------F
Seems to me like im just scared of ever feeling it again,
C E7 Fill------------F
I know its crazy to believe in silly things,
G
its not that easy,
[VERSE 2]
C C/B Am F
I remember it now, it takes me back to where it all first started,
C E7 Fill--------F
But I only got myself to blame for it, and i accept it now,
C E7 Fill------------F
Its time to, let it all go, go out and start again,
G
but its not that easy.
[CHORUS:]
F C
But I’ve got high hopes,
C/B
It takes me back to
Fill-----------------F
when we started,
C E7 Fill--------------F
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again,
C E7 Fill-----------------F
High hopes, ooohhh when it all comes to an end,
G
But the world keeps spinning.
[Instrumental] (Verse Chords)
[Verse]
C C/B Am F
And in my dreams, I make the ghosts of all the people who’ve come and gone,
C E7 Fill--------F
Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon,
C E7 Fill------------F
My evil, is just staring at the barrel of a gun,
G
and I do believe in,
[CHORUS:]
F C
But I’ve got high hopes,
C/B
It takes me back to
Fill-----------------F
when we started,
C E7 Fill--------------F
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again,
C E7 Fill-----------------F
High hopes, ooohhh when it all comes to an end,
G
But the world keeps spinning.
F G
The world keeps spinning..
[Instrumental]
[CHORUS:]
F C
But I’ve got high hopes,
C/B
It takes me back to
Fill-----------------F
when we started,
C E7 Fill--------------F
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again,
C E7 Fill-----------------F
High hopes, ooohhh when it all comes to an end,

But the world keeps spinning.

Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again
I know it's crazy to believe in silly things
But it's not that easy
I remember it now, it takes me back to when it all first started
But I've only got myself to blame for it, and I accept it now
It's time to let it go, go out and start again
But it's not that easy
But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, when it all comes to an end
But the world keeps spinning around
And in my dreams, I meet the ghosts
Of all the people who have come and gone
Memories, they seem to show up so quick
But they leave you far too soon
Naïve I was just staring at the barrel of a gun
And I do believe that, yeah
But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end
Now the world keeps spinning
Yeah, the world keeps spinning around
Ohh! High hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, oh yeah
And the world keeps spinning
Ooh, yeah, this world keeps spinning
