The Dear Hunter - A beginning

^CmThe silence dominates, divining resolutions from my ^F#7hands ^FLines drawn in the ^Cmsand ^CmBut my volition's wry, my temperance twisted, faced with failing ^F#7light ^FNothing in my s^Cmight

If I ^C#fall in^G#to the ^C#ocean, send my^C# soul in^G#to the ^C#sea Will these ref^Cmlections trouble ^C#me? Will I ^C7dream my final ^Fmdream?

^Cm I sensed this silhouette who's standing vigil growing very ^F#7sore ^FJust one moment ^Cmmore ^CmBefore I close the curtain, fate uncertain; spirit to the ^F#7dark ^FEndlessly ap^Cmart

Can I ^C#fall in^G#to the ^C#ocean, send m^C#y soul in^G#to the s^C#ea? No distant ^Cmechoes haunting ^C#me, no further ^Cmphantoms will I^C# see This silence ^C7held eternal^Fmly

But ^G#what if the silence is ^Bbbroken by the ^Ebones you've love^G#d Incredibly present, with a ^Bbheavenly breath to ^Ebwake you ^G#up With nothing left to poi^Bbson, a portrait of wh^Ebo I've bec^G#ome Only elation remains, ^Bbprotecting us from this ^Fmneverending ^Ebnight ^{Bbm7 Fm7}

^EbDear apparition, while my senses last ^Bbm7Is absolution far too much to ask? ^Fm7 Will you forgive a truly troubled past? The ^G#silver lining still remains, the ^Cmsights I've left to see So ^B7trust that with this end, a new beginning's waiting patiently
