Standard tuning, no capo
The song sounds best with barre chords, but regular ones works well too. Enjoy playing!
Verse:
E A
Bring on your hunters
D B D#
Let them bring their dogs
It's me that you wanted
I've been right here all along
Right here all along
You better bring your buckets
We've got some dreams to drain
I'll be at the bottom
I've been right here waiting so long
E A D B C
Just waiting so long
Chorus:

C#m D#
Dreams to drain
B E
Put them in a cage
C#m D#
Unlock the pain
B C#m D#
And I'll be here waiting
C#m
You fell asleep with the key
D#m7
All your walls
C#m
Mean nothing to me
C#m7
I know you'll come back
B
To set us free
Verse 2:
Run my dear son
Until we get to the trees
And then keep on going all the way
We've got to get right down to the sea
We've got to get to the sea
Oh my dear son
We've got to get to the sea
But don't you touch the water
Don't you barely breathe
And if you see yourself
Looking back at you
You're going to have to leave
You're going to have to leave
I don't want you to go
But you've got to leave
[Chorus]
[Solo - same chords as verse]
Verse 3:
I don't want you to go
But you've got to leave
You can always come to me
I'll give you what you need
Run my dear son
We've got to get to the sea
