Another amazing Dear Hunter song. Most of the song is not played on guitar so you get
some liberty as far as your interpretation. If any chords are wrong, please comment or e-
mail me.

The boys on the train
G
The almighty tongue with prose spilled in vain
C G F G Am Dm F G
Goodbye, my eyes shed heavy tears. One for every
C G Em Am F G
soul still sitting on the fence between pain and arrogance
