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.

F Gm
Oh, you were born with the sun
F Gm
And oh, you will die with the moon
F Gm
And everything you thought you had you lost
F Gm
But now you'd never lose what you don't have
*Pre-Chorus*
Bb C F A Bb
Prayers from above, never answered quite enough
Gm Bbm F
Now the only one you have is you
*Chorus*
F Cm
With this cruel and bitter heart
Bb
You were cold and in love
Ab
Left here naked in the sun
F Cm
Run scared from this cruel and bitter world
Bb Ab
This has only begun as the bombs are busting off
*Verse*
Bbm Fm
Smoke arose on azimuth glares
Bbm Fm Eb
Bodies brewed and frigid winter air
Bbm Fm Eb C#
Where families son's are robbed beneath their feet
Fm Eb Bbm Fm Eb
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
Ab C# Fm Eb C# C#/C
*Repeat Pre-Chorus*
Bb C F A Bb
Prayers from above never answered quite enough
Gm C F A Bb
Looking up, never offered you too much
Gm Bbm
Now the only one you have is...
