Wait - The Dear Hunter
Props to theClifton, his version sounded very close, but I think this is more accurate.
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
I hope there's not a heaven above
