Wait chords by The Dear Hunter

• 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 instead of Cm sounds just as good.

CAPO 2


Verse 1:

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

Chorus 1:

      G
Then I said wait
    B7           G
Are our bodies really piles of dirt?
      B7
And is the soul just a metaphor?
C              B7
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up
 G          B7
I fear that there is a heaven above


Instrumental:

Cm - Em (x3)
Am - B7


Verse 2:

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


Chorus 2:

      C
Then I said wait
   B7           G
Is my body really part of the earth
       Em            C
And is there blood running through my veins?
         B7
I'll know when I turn to dust
   Em           G
But I fear the answer isn't enough
C     B7         G
So, will I ever know heaven or hell?
   Em
Or is eternity something worse?
C              B7
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up
 Em
I fear that there is a heaven above (heaven above, heaven above)


Instrumental:

Cm - Em (x3)
Am - B7


Bridge:

Cm           Em
 I want to give it up
Cm           Em
 I want to give it up
Cm           Em
 I want to give it up
   Am          B7
But I just need it too much


Chorus 3:

C
Wait
   B7           G
Is my body really part of the earth
       Em            C
And is there blood running through my veins?
         B7
I'll know when I turn to dust
   Em           G
But I fear the answer isn't enough
C     B7         G
So, will I ever know heaven or hell?
   Em
Or is eternity something worse?
C              B7
 I keep my eyes from looking too far up


Outro:

 Em          Em
I fear that there is a heaven above
 Em          Em
I fear that there is a heaven above
 Em          Em
I fear that there is a heaven above
 G          Em
I fear that there is a heaven above
 Em
