The Dear Hunter – Melpomene (Guitar)

E           A   E
Cold had I calloused

            Am    E  Esus2 E   A
Walls were raised to bear the weight

        E
I'd not take

                 A  E
Too slow were my senses

      Am  E   Esus2  E    A
Muted musings lost their way

       D  A
Disconnected

      Dm         A
Only silence remained

D            A            E
Holding my breath in the dark

            B
Gasping for air

                    E
With the lungs of a lark

                A    E
So warm was the welcome

       Am        E      
Humble in its embrace

B            E            A
Tell me just how did you save me?

        D             A
Pull me up from the grave

            Dm          A
Though my youth did mislead

D           A       E
I would retreat to you

                    A
Right back to your arms

          D       A
With my spirit aglow

           Dm           A
Where the pains of the past

D          A            E
Exit en masse through you

                  B
Too lost when we part

                      E
With the lungs of a lark

B
I (far removed from myself)

       A          E
Had denied what I lost

        F#m              E            B
When my heart had withdrawn to the fray (In a whimsical way)

          A             E
I would flee from the truth

        F#m        E
I could bury in youth

B
You (you would have me)

                            A      E
You would have me if I've fallen again

          F#m            E           B   
Would you bring me back out of the dark?

                     E
With my lungs of a lark

E             A   E
Cold. Have I calloused

           Am    E  Esus2 E     
But these walls are coming down
