The Dear Hunter - The revival

^EmIt took a little longer than we hoped But it was ^Gworth it You know it takes a ^Amvillage to raise a ^B7scheme To patch the ^Emholes of a ^Cmausoleum

^EmWell we’re packing in the patronage Like it's a ^Glotto and everybody wins Now take a ^Amseat so the show can ^B7start And will you ^Emwelcome these works of ^Cmart

^CmIsn’t she beautifu^Eml No ^CmMaybe another one ^Emhere could entertain ^AmYes ^AmWe swear that every ^B7minute's worth the wait

^EmHey It's a cry you can’t contain A release you couldn’t ^Amestimate And the ^Csecret's ^B7safe as long as you pay

^EmIt's so good to be so bad You can leave it when you ^Amwalk away And ^Cpretend you’ve ^B7washed your hands of it

^EmLast call for the Sunday squaws And there's no ^Groom left for the hem and haw We’ll give a ^Amgift long over^B7due And make a ^Emsultan out of ^Cyou

^EmThat’s right any troglodyte Can have a ^Glife in the party as a socialite Or if you’re ^Amlooking to ^B7efface You can ^Emretire without a ^Ctrace Don’t you bother with ^Cmdoubt

^EmHey It's a cry you can’t contain A release you couldn’t ^Amestimate And the ^Csecret's ^B7safe as long as you pay

^EmIt's so good to be so bad You can leave it when you ^Amwalk away And ^Cpretend you’ve ^B7washed your hands of it

^EmAnother candidate for giving her bruises ^EmAnother night that she’ll dissociate ^EmAnother man who thinks the rules don’t apply to him

^EmLong was this road I’ve wandered ^BBut short did my ^Bbtemperance live ^AmHere I’ve helped him ^Bbuild a temple ^EmTo ^Bdeify this czar of ^Emsin

^EmNow who to blame but I for tying ^BThese knots so well at my ^Bbwrists ^AmThe noose would surely find me^B if I’m too wily ^EmBut what of the ^Blife I’d ^Emlive

^CThe sale of a soul that ^Bfalls ^EmAs foolish as young ^CEsau ^AmIt's better if I withdraw ^B7

^EmHey It's a cry you can’t contain A release you couldn’t ^Amestimate And the ^Csecret's ^B7safe as long as you pay

^EmIt's so good to be so bad You can leave it when you ^Amwalk away And ^Cpretend you’ve ^B7washed your hands of it Em E
