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]Oh, you were [Gm]born with the sun
And [F]oh, you will [Gm]die with the moon
And [F]everything you thought you had you [Gm]lost
But [F]now you'd never lose what you don't [Gm]have
Pre-Chorus
[Bb]Prayers from [C]above, never [F]answered [A]quite [B]enough
Now the [Gm]only one you [Bbm]have is [F]you
Chorus
[F]With this [Cm]cruel and bitter heart
You were [Bb]cold and in love
Left here [G#]naked in the sun
[F]Run scared from this [Cm]cruel and bitter world
This has [Bb]only begun as the [G#]bombs are busting off
Verse
[Bbm]Smoke arose on [Fm]azimuth glares
[Bbm]Bodies brewed and f[Fm]rigid winter [Eb]air
Where [Bbm]families son's are [Fm]robbed [Eb]beneath their [Bbm]feet
[Fm] [Eb] [Bbm] [Fm] [Eb]
A[Bbm]nd hearts concede "Ab Ovo," the angel sings "Ad astra"
Our [Fm]eyes to the [Eb]sea, we [Bbm]thought that we had
A [Fm]cause for [Eb]suffering, and [Fm]reason not to die alone
[Eb]Oh but
Repeat Chorus
[Fm]With our feet beneath us, and [Bbm]our hands to the sky
We [C#]extend our limbs begging "[B]why, oh, [B]why?"[B/C]
Don't turn [Bbm]away[Fm][Bbm][Fm][Eb]
[G#] [C#] [Fm] [Eb] [C#] [C#/C]
Repeat Pre-Chorus
[Bb]Prayers from [C]above never [F]answered [A]quite [Bb]enough
[Gm]Looking [C]up, never [F]offered [A]you too [Bb]much
Now the [Gm]only one you [Bbm]have is...
