The Dear Hunter – The Revival (Guitar)

Em
It took a little longer than we hoped

           G
But it was worth it

                    Am                 B7
You know it takes a village to raise a scheme

             Em         C
To patch the holes of a mausoleum

Em
Well we’re packing in the patronage

            G
Like it's a lotto and everybody wins

           Am                   B7
Now take a seat so the show can start

             Em                     Cm
And will you welcome these works of art

Cm                Em
Isn’t she beautiful No

Cm                Em                   Am
Maybe another one here could entertain Yes

Am                  B7
We swear that every minute's worth the wait

Em
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain

                       Am
A release you couldn’t estimate

        C        B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay

Em
It's so good to be so bad

                          Am
You can leave it when you walk away

    C              B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it

Em
Last call for the Sunday squaws

               G
And there's no room left for the hem and haw

             Am            B7
We’ll give a gift long overdue

           Em            C
And make a sultan out of you

Em
That’s right any troglodyte

           G
Can have a life in the party as a socialite

             Am         B7
Or if you’re looking to efface

        Em               C
You can retire without a trace

                      Cm
Don’t you bother with doubt

Em
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain

                       Am
A release you couldn’t estimate

        C        B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay

Em
It's so good to be so bad

                          Am
You can leave it when you walk away

    C              B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it

Em
Another candidate for giving her bruises

Em
Another night that she’ll dissociate

Em
Another man who thinks the rules don’t apply to him

Em
Long was this road I’ve wandered

B                Bb
But short did my temperance live

Am                   B
Here I’ve helped him build a temple

Em B                  Em
To deify this czar of sin

Em
Now who to blame but I for tying

B                         Bb
These knots so well at my wrists

Am                            B
The noose would surely find me if I’m too wily

Em              B        Em
But what of the life I’d live

C                       B
The sale of a soul that falls

Em                  C
As foolish as young Esau

Am                        B7
It's better if I withdraw

Em
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain

                       Am
A release you couldn’t estimate

        C        B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay

Em
It's so good to be so bad

                          Am
You can leave it when you walk away

    C              B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it
