AmCEmG I took a room in a house of gloom FGAm Somewhere I could hide my soul CEmG There I hoped to find a way to ease my mind FGAm Couldn't face the gloom tomorrow
CGAmF I sat until the hours of three or four AmFAm Thinking doesn't help but seems CGAmF I crept to bed and cried myself to sleep once more AmE7 Then I had the wildest dream
Chorus: AmDmAm (Street called Hope) in a town named Freedom DmGCE7 Where each clock is pointed to the hour of love AmDmAm Upon a street called Hope at the house of Welcome DmAmE7Am That's where she opened the door of love
When I awoke the following day Every doubt had left my mind My dream it taught me what the prophets say Those who seek will always find
I ran down the stair and out in to the street Looking for the nearest phone We both said sorry and decided to meet To find ourselves a happy home
