The Dear Hunter - Old Demons

Cm Fm Cm G# G

Cm Fm Cm
apathy was a game i never played
Cm Fm Cm D
’cause agony was a feeling i’d been steeped in slow
Cm Fm Cm
swapping all my smiles for a scowl
Cm Fm Cm D G
and sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye

G# Gm
but i’m letting the old demons out
Fm G
bringing down the walls around
G# D – G – Cm
all the denial and the doubt

( solo )
Cm D G Cm Fm Gm Fm Gm

Cm Fm Cm
i won’t be satisfied ’til the saccharine faces fade
Cm Fm Cm D
making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions
Cm Fm Cm
for i was blind now i can see
Cm Fm Cm D G
every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me

G# Gm
but i’m letting the old demons out
Fm G
bringing down the walls around
G# D – G – Cm
all the denial and the doubt

and if i suddenly sink
Gm Fm Gm
into a cowardly drink
G# Gm
to drown out the swarm
G# Gm
of the hive minded bees
Cm A# G# Gm
strike the spirits from my rigid wrists
Fm Gm Cm
and pull me out of the tide i’m tumbling in

G# Gm
but i’m letting the old demons out
Fm G
bringing down the walls around
G# Gm
all the denial and the doubt
Fm G
every painful plea aloud
G# Gm
kicking the old demons out
Fm G
bringing down the walls around
G# D – G – Cm
all the denial and the doubt
