The Only Hope For Me Is You Acoustic Guitar Tabs by My Chemical Romance

The Only Hope For Me Is You - My Chemical Romance.

Tabbed by spiteandmailce (it should be spite and malice but I typed it wrong..Doh!)

This is my first tab, be easy on me!

Capo on 2nd fret!

For the intro and first verse I use this plucking pattern (relative to capo):

   E                                   Am
e|-----------0---------------0-------|-----------0-------------0-------|
b|-------0-----0---0-----0-----0---0-|-------1-----1---1----1----1---1-|
g|---------1-----1---------1-----1---|---------2-----2--------2----2---|
d|-----------------------------------|-----2---------------2-----------|
a|-----2---------------2-------------|---0---------------0-------------|
E|---0---------------0---------------|---------------------------------|

Intro:

E            Am
Remember Me, Remember me   x3

Verse 1:

E
Where, where will you stand,

             Am                             E
when all the lights go out across this city streets?

E
Where, where we you when,

           Am
All of the embers fell, I still remember..

Bridge:

I use a similar plucking pattern here..

   E               B               C#m             B
e|-0~----0-------|-2~----2-------|-4~----4-------|-2~----2-------|
b|-0~------0---0-|-4~------4---4-|-5~------5---5-|-4~------4---4-|
g|-1~--1-----1---|-4~--4-----4---|-6~--6-----6---|-4~--4-----4---|
d|-2~------------|-4~------------|-6~------------|-4~------------|
a|-2~------------|-2~------------|-4~------------|-2~------------|
E|-0~------------|-2~------------|-4~------------|-2~------------|

   Am
e|-0~----0-------|-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
b|-1~------1---1-|---------------|
g|-2~--2-----2---|---------------|
d|-2~------------|---------------|
a|-0~------------|---------------|
E|-0~------------|---------------|

E                 B
There, covered in ash,

           C#m
covered in glass,

            B
covered in all my friends,

  Am
I still think of the bombs they build.

Chorus: (You can carry on plucking at this point if you wish, but I prefer to strum, the
strumming pattern I use is DDUUDU D= down U= up.)

             E            B
If there's a person I can be,
            C#m          Abm
Then I'd be another memory,
             A              E
Can I be the only hope for you
                    B
Because you're the only hope for me.
               E             B
And if we can find where we belong
              C#m             Abm
We'll have to make it on our own
              A                E
Face all the pain and take it on
             B                            E
Because the only hope for me is you alone


The next verse is the same as the first, and obviously the chorus is the same too, as
for the breakdown where Gerard sings "the only hope for me is you" several times, I've
decided to play E, Am as I can't figure out the exact chords there, it sounds alright to 
me, if anyone does know feel free to leave them in the comments below.

The outro is also E, Am until the end of the song. It's quite easy, I'm sure you can all
work it out! :)

Full Lyrics:

Where, where will you stand
When all the lights go out
Across these city streets?
Where were you when
All of the embers fell?
I still remember them
Covered in ash
Covered in glass
Covered in all my friends
I still think of the bombs they built

If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone

How would you be
Many years after the disasters
That we've seen
What if we learned
Of all the people burning
In purifying flame
I'll say it's okay
I know you can tell
And though you can see me smile
I still think of the guns they sell

If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone

The only hope for me
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you
The only hope is!

If there's a place that I could be
Then I'd be another memory
Can I be the only hope for you?
Because you're the only hope for me
And if we can't find where we belong
We'll have to make it on our own
Face all the pain and take it on
Because the only hope for me is you alone

The only hope for me is you
(Remember me)

The only hope for me is you alone
(Remember me)

The only hope for me is you
(Remember me)

The only hope for me is you alone
(Remember me)

The only hope for me is you
(Remember me)
The only hope for me is you
The only hope for me is you

The only hope for me is you alone!


Credit also goes to Rikko1 as I actually learnt the song first from his tab of this
song, but decided to put this up for the plucking pattern!

Enjoy!
