A minorAm
Wherever we go, we'll never be lost
Some follow the compass rose, some follow the cross
   C majorC
Me, I follow roads compulsively, till sirens call me off
    E minorEm
Then I wander, eyes closed, following songs
  A minorAm
This rivers a hymnal, the leaves are applause
The trees sing in whispers, with the wind pulling their arms
   C majorC
Hold still, and listen, your hand on my heart
    E minorEm
If you need them, these beacons will lead you back to the start
Yup
A minorAm
No ax has seen these woods since before your father stood
The path is beaten good from the feet of all who wandered through it
C majorC
Old growth, holds hope, let the brambles scrape your skin
E minorEm
  Scars are storybooks, blood will wash away your sins
A minorAm
Now let that sun slip, then let that moon rise
Follow in no footsteps, listen for the true guides
C majorC
Woods will play tricks upon pretty blue eyes
        E minorEm
Is that glimmer the river, or your village finally brought
    A minorAm
back to life?


Follow me tonight, I'll show you
     C majorC
what's it like
    E minorEm
To be alive

 A minorAm
I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets,
       C majorC
We know the unknown, know the unknown
      E minorEm
Know the unknown
   A minorAm
Keep close, hold my hand now, just be strong
We can follow this river right
       C majorC
back to your home
Back to your home
       E minorEm
Back to your home

    A minorAm
At the palace in Versilles, 400 years before this day
They're packing up supplies, preparing for a long trip
C majorC
They may not survive, but many of them know this
E minorEm
They would rather die, than to leave the question open

  A minorAm
So this is why we try? We bet it all on hopeless?
And swim against the tide till until our every bone is broken
 C majorC
A augmentedA sinking ship is still a ship, no captain spoke the obit
     E minorEm
Till the crew is flew, crow's nest slips silent beneath the ocean
    A minorAm
We set sail without an anchor, we count upon that, never stop
An anchor's just a coffin nail, waiting for that hammer drop
  C majorC
It holds you by the ankles till it pulls you to the Acheron
   E minorEm
Trade stable to be able to slip out from under devil's thumb
A minorAm
  Keep your anchors, my home is where my hat is hung
Postcard printed paper, and love notes from the lattice rungs
C majorC
Blessed are the vagrant, the lonely are the static ones
   E minorEm
It's every drifter's confirmation this world is just ravishing

 A minorAm
I know it seems like we're all lost, we can follow this
      C majorC
river back home
River back home
      E minorEm
River back home

 A minorAm
I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets,
       C majorC
we know the unknown
Know the unknown
      E minorEm
Know the unknown
   A minorAm
Keep close, hold my hand now, just be strong
We can follow this river right
       C majorC
back to your home
Back to your home
       E minorEm
Back to your home
 A minorAm
I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets,
       C majorC
we know the unknown
Know the unknown
      E minorEm
Know the unknown
