Waves chords by The Dear Hunter

Guitar chords with lyrics

The Dear Hunter's unreleased song "Waves" from the upcoming Act IV. I tabbed this from a
couple of different Youtube videos of Casey playing the song.

A few things to note:

-There are a few lyrics that I may have transcribed incorrectly. It's kind of hard to
hear from the live videos. If you have corrections please comment.
-Pretty much any Am chord can be replaced with an Am7 chord. It sounds great, but I
can't tell if it is exactly what Casey is playing or not.
-Same goes for F and Fmaj7 chords. Either one will work and sound good.
-Capo should be on 1 or 2, Casey plays it both ways.


Am           C
I thought that I knew love
C              G     Fmaj7
but it was just the wave crashing over us
Am          C
and in the breaths between the ones we meant to breath
     G       Fmaj7
I had my head under my feet

F             G
you knew the way things were
F              G
you knew the way they would be
F        G   Am
we knew exactly how it'd end

Am    C
oh oh oh oh oh
C         G    Fmaj7
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Am         C
strays on a stable sea
C               G    Fmaj7
i'll anchor the engine to a canyon far beneath(?)
Am          C
the water rushed up from the boards below
C            G       Fmaj7
so i started slicking my hair with the kerosene

F             G
you knew the way things were
F           G
you knew the way they would be
F        G    Am
we knew exactly how it'd end

C                 Am
And I'm preparing for a burial at sea
Fmaj7          G  C
and I can't see the lighthouse
C                       Am
yeah I'm praying that these waters don't take me
Fmaj7           G  Am
cause I can't see the lighthouse

Am    C
oh oh oh oh oh
  C      G     Fmaj7
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Am       C
oh oh oh oh oh oh
C       G   Am
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

F
I was screaming that the ship was sinking
Am
but you were telling me to just keep drinking
G
quartered in the parts again (?)
Am
arms and legs in the bottom of the ocean
F
and the thing that made it so much harder
Am
is the fact that you were someones daughter

F            G
I knew the way things were
F             G
I knew the way they would be
 F       G    C
I knew exactly how it'd end


C          Am


Fmaj7          G  C
And I can't see the lighthouse
C                 Am
and I'm preparing for a burial at sea
Fmaj7          G  C
but I can't see the lighthouse
C                       Am
yeah I'm praying that these waters don't take me
Fmaj7          G  Am
cause I can't see the lighthouse

Am           C
I thought that I knew love
C             G     Am
