What It Means To Be Alone
The Dear Hunter
Text File
This song is off of Act III: Life and Death by The Dear Hunter
Personally, this is my favorite song off the new album, and I find the album absolutely
After Act I came out, I didn't think they could top it. They topped it with Act II
and after that came out, I was almost positive they couldn't beat that. I was wrong.
It proved to be a little bit more difficult to figure this out than I anticipated, so if
are any corrections just let me know. But, I'm pretty sure that this is correct as it
shown.

Smoke arose on azimuth glares
Bbm Fm Eb
Bodies brewed and frigid winter air

Where families son's are robbed beneath their feet
Fm Eb Bbm Fm Eb
Bbm
And hearts concede "Ab Ovo," the angel sings "Ad astra"
Fm Eb Bbm
Our eyes to the sea, we thought that we had
Fm Eb Fm
A cause for suffering, and reason not to die alone
Eb
Oh but
*Repeat Chorus*
Fm Bbm
With our feet beneath us, and our hands to the sky
C# B B B/C
We extend our limbs begging "why, oh, why?"
Bbm Fm Bbm Fm Eb
Don't turn away
G# C# Fm Eb C# C#/C
*Repeat Pre-Chorus*

Prayers from above never answered quite enough

Looking up, never offered you too much

Now the only one you have is...
