A Night On The Town chords – The Dear Hunter

 Key: G


 G Em G Em G Em D  x2



 Em 
I've been misplaced in so many ways
 Bbm Em 
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit
     Am 
Yet here I breathe
 Em 
Teeth still gleam from holy water
       C 
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter
    B Em Am 
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet
 D 
And voices sing:



 B 
"Were we erased like common thieves?
 Em 
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas
 B C 
All because we never had written a word."



             G 
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
     D C              
And what will i know when the morning comes?
 Em D G 
    What will I see, tonight in these eyes
     D C Em D 
And what will I know when the morning comes?



 B Em 
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
 B 
Would we arrive at agreeable musings
 Em D 
Sentimental or just confusing
    B 
We lost what we had but we took it back
 Am G Em 
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another
      B C 
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand


             G 
What will I see, tonight in these eyes
     D C              
And what will i know when the morning comes?
 Em D G 
    What will I see, tonight in these eyes
     D C              
And what will I know when the morning comes?




     Em D Am 
I'm not who you think I am
               C B 
And even if I thought you'd known
                    Am 
I never would have told you so
     G 
And more alarming
              C A D 
I would have done the very same
            C A D 
Would have stole more than your name
            C A D Am 
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders
              B 
I was in the wrong place

At the right time




     Em D G 
And what's the worst I'd see
                                 C 
By giving myself to the earth below me
     Em D G C 
Not knowing how far I'd fall, by casting away the ordinary
      G D G C 
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
     G D G C 
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath here underneath?




 Em C 
  There's that subtle smile that did me in
 D Em 
She moves...
            C 
An agony reminds where I've been
 D Em 
She breathes
                     C 
"I'd never let this happen again."


 Am Em 
Where's your heart?
 C G 
Mimicking the patriarch
 Am C 
She's naive...
