• Capo on 2nd

Wait - The Dear Hunter


During the instrumental interlude sections and the "I want to give it all up" sections, I tabbed the chords
as "Cm-Em" because I believe that's technically correct, but an open C majorC instead of C minorCm sounds just as good.

CAPO 2


Verse 1:

E minorEm             F#F#
 I lost my faith when I was young
A minorAm              E minorEm
 I clenched my fist to bite my tongue
E minorEm             F#F#
 I leave awake from all the things that I had done
   A minorAm                 E minorEm
Cause there wouldn't be a thing when I moved on

Chorus 1:

      G+G
Then I said wait
    B7B7           G+G
Are our bodies really piles of dirt?
      B7B7
And is the soul just a metaphor?
C majorC              B7B7
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up
 G+G          B7B7
I fear that there is a heaven above


Instrumental:

C minorCm - E minorEm (x3)
A minorAm - B7B7


Verse 2:

E minorEm             F#F#
 I stood in lines to bow my head
      A minorAm
I'd fold my hands and speak in tongues
      E minorEm
To whisper worries to the dead
      E minorEm             F#F#
But I could tell no apparition heard a single word I said
  A minorAm                E minorEm
But I'd still call my fear in to the air

Chorus 2:

      C majorC
Then I said wait
   B7B7           G+G
Is my body really part of the earth
       E minorEm            C majorC
And is there blood running through my veins?
         B7B7
I'll know when I turn to dust
   E minorEm           G+G
But I fear the answer isn't enough
C majorC     B7B7         G+G
So, will I ever know heaven or hell?
   E minorEm
Or is eternity something worse?
C majorC              B7B7
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up
 E minorEm
I fear that there is a heaven above (heaven above, heaven above)


Instrumental:

C minorCm - E minorEm (x3)
A minorAm - B7B7


Bridge:

C minorCm           E minorEm
 I want to give it up
C minorCm           E minorEm
 I want to give it up
C minorCm           E minorEm
 I want to give it up
   A minorAm          B7B7
But I just need it too much


Chorus 3:

C majorC
Wait
   B7B7           G+G
Is my body really part of the earth
       E minorEm            C majorC
And is there blood running through my veins?
         B7B7
I'll know when I turn to dust
   E minorEm           G+G
But I fear the answer isn't enough
C majorC     B7B7         G+G
So, will I ever know heaven or hell?
   E minorEm
Or is eternity something worse?
C majorC              B7B7
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up


Outro:

 E minorEm          E minorEm
I fear that there is a heaven above
 E minorEm          E minorEm
I fear that there is a heaven above
 E minorEm          E minorEm
I fear that there is a heaven above
 G+G          E minorEm
I fear that there is a heaven above
 E minorEm
