G         D
I'm all alone
Em               Bm
Standing with my back to where I'm from
Em               Bm
Feeling like my feet are made of stone
Em          A
Desolation sinking in my bones

Down on the ground
I can see a trace of who I was
Underneath a hundred miles of dust
Everything I love will turn to rust

G        D  Em                Bm
We were just  hunters in the wilderness
G         D  Em
Bound by our hunger to be more than what we are
G        D  Em              Bm
In our blood  runs a hope in all of us
G         D         Em
The only part that still belongs

Chorus:
              D
Caught in a storm
         Em           Bm
In the shadows of our innocence
Em                Bm
Darkest state of providence
Em      A
If you find me
          G       D
Will you pull me out?
        Em              Bm
In the shadows of our innocence
Em                Bm
Darkest state of providence
Em      A
If you find me
          G       D
Will you pull me out?

Days will go on
We all want a story to be told
Living in a world that's bought and sold
Every day we pray in vain for gold

Where is my head
Who will come and save me from myself
Running through a field of burning beds
Looking in my soul to find some rest

We were just hunters in the wilderness
Bound by our hunger to be more than what we are
In our blood runs a hope in all of us
The only part that still belongs

Chorus

We were just hunters in the wilderness...

(Will you find me and pull me out?)
If you find me, will you pull me out? - x4
