Wait - The Dear Hunter
[CAPO 2]
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
G
Then I said wait
B7 Em
Are our bodies really piles of dirt?
G
And is the soul just a metaphor?
C B7
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
G B
I fear that there is a heaven above
Cm - C7
Am - Bm7
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
C
Then I said wait
B7 Em
Is my body really part of the earth
G C
And is there blood running through my veins?
B7
I'll know when I turn to dust
G B
But I fear the answer isn't enough
C B7 Em
So, will I ever know heaven or hell?
G
Or is eternity something worse?
C B7
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
G Em
I fear that there is a heaven above (heaven above, heaven above)
Cm - C7
Am - Bm7
C Em
I want to give it up
C Em
I want to give it up
C Em
I want to give it up
Am B7
But I just need it too much
G
Wait
B7 Em
Is my body really part of the earth
G C
And is there blood running through my veins?
B7
I'll know when I turn to dust
G B
But I fear the answer isn't enough
C B7 Em
So, will I ever know heaven or hell?
G
Or is eternity something worse?
C B7
I keep my eyes from looking too far up
G B
I fear that there is a heaven above
G Em
A fear that there is a heaven above
G Em
A fear that there is a heaven above
G Em
A fear that there is a heaven above
Em Em
I hope there's not a heaven above
