The Revival Chords & Lyrics - The Dear Hunter

[VERSE]
[Em]It took a little longer than we hoped
But it was [G]worth it
You know it takes a [Am]village to raise a [B7]scheme
To patch the [Em]holes of a [C]mausoleum

[Em]Well we’re packing in the patronage
Like it's a [G]lotto and everybody wins
Now take a [Am]seat so the show can [B7]start
And will you [Em]welcome these works of [Cm]art

[BRIDGE]
[Cm]Isn’t she beautifu[Em]l No
[Cm]Maybe another one [Em]here could entertain [Am]Yes
[Am]We swear that every [B7]minute's worth the wait

[CHORUS]
[Em]Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
A release you couldn’t [Am]estimate
And the [C]secret's [B7]safe as long as you pay

[Em]It's so good to be so bad
You can leave it when you [Am]walk away
And [C]pretend you’ve [B7]washed your hands of it

[VERSE]
[Em]Last call for the Sunday squaws
And there's no [G]room left for the hem and haw
We’ll give a [Am]gift long over[B7]due
And make a [Em]sultan out of [C]you

[Em]That’s right any troglodyte
Can have a [G]life in the party as a socialite
Or if you’re [Am]looking to [B7]efface
You can [Em]retire without a [C]trace
Don’t you bother with [Cm]doubt

[CHORUS]
[Em]Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
A release you couldn’t [Am]estimate
And the [C]secret's [B7]safe as long as you pay

[Em]It's so good to be so bad
You can leave it when you [Am]walk away
And [C]pretend you’ve [B7]washed your hands of it

[C-PART]
[Em]Another candidate for giving her bruises
[Em]Another night that she’ll dissociate
[Em]Another man who thinks the rules don’t apply to him

[Em]Long was this road I’ve wandered
[B]But short did my [Bb]temperance live
[Am]Here I’ve helped him [B]build a temple
[Em]To [B]deify this czar of [Em]sin

[Em]Now who to blame but I for tying
[B]These knots so well at my [Bb]wrists
[Am]The noose would surely find me[B] if I’m too wily
[Em]But what of the [B]life I’d [Em]live

[C]The sale of a soul that [B]falls
[Em]As foolish as young [C]Esau
[Am]It's better if I withdraw [B7]

[CHORUS]
[Em]Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
A release you couldn’t [Am]estimate
And the [C]secret's [B7]safe as long as you pay

[Em]It's so good to be so bad
You can leave it when you [Am]walk away
And [C]pretend you’ve [B7]washed your hands of it
[Em] [E]
