The Antlers - Dear

      From the EP February Tape (2007)

D E A is the main chord progression of the song. Believe the pattern is picked by power chords,
but open sounds fine too.

Tuned a quarter step down.

[Intro]

D E A (x2)

[Verse 1]
           D    E   A
Saw you so still, so cold
           D     E  A
You lay outside alone
                     D E  A
Your eyes were still open wide
                 D  E   A
You left on that summer night

[Verse 2]
                D  E    A
Your mother was so confused
                      D    E        A
Her nose dug up dirt, you're bruised
                 D   E   A
She looked up at me, she spoke
                   D   E    A
"Why bother? We're all just smoke."

[Chorus 1]
                   D           E
Well I'll tell you why
              E          F#m
I'll tell you why
F#m           D
I'll tell you why
Esus
It could've been you

[Post-Chorus]
D E A (x2)

[Verse 3]
              D    E     A
I drove back along the coast
                  D      E   A
With hanging grey trees, so close
             D         E A
My passenger stayed asleep
       D  E   A
Intoxicated deep

[Verse 4]
          D        E     A
So I went home and stared
                    D   E   A
Out the window, I'm not prepared
                     D  E    A
If I'm just going to be the rose
               D E   A
You drop on my final home

[Chorus 2]
                 D       E
It's starting to rain inside
              C#m   F#m      (x4)
Let's stay outside tonight

It's starting to pour

[Outro]
D
Esus E
C#m
