[Verse 1]
     G
The nights we spoke with tongues of fire
     C
The days we walked out on the wire
Em                D                 C
We were young and we were not afraid

     G
The angels whispered in our ears
     C
To tell us what the hilltop hears
Em              D               C
Beholden to the promises we made
     Em                D
When we were young and we were not afraid
[Interlude]
G  C/G  Em  D  C

[Verse 2]
G
River waters moved inside
    C
Our bodies like the ocean tide
    Em              D                   C
The spirit swam the hallows of our veins

    G
The years they roared like waves down on
    C
The rocky shores we stand upon
    Em               D                   C
And beat against our banks with iron rage
     Em                D                 G
When we were young and we were not afraid

[Chorus]
C                  D
We can still push up against those pillars
Em                  D
We can light those foxes tails ablaze
C                      D
Nighttime still pushes up against the sun
      Em                 D
Where we grow young and we are not afraid

     G               C                 Em
And you, you gotta find your way back home
           D
Out of the woods
     G                     C
And you, you don’t have to hold your own
           Em                D
You gotta find your way back home
           Am
Out of the woods
              C
They’re gonna smoke you out
              G
They’re gonna find you out
           Am     C
Out of the woods

[Interlude]
G  C/G  Em  D  C

     G               C                 Em
And you, you gotta find your way back home
           D
Out of the woods
     G                     C
And you, you don’t have to hold your own
           Em                D
You gotta find your way back home
              Am             C
They’re gonna smoke you out
              G
They’re gonna find you out
           Am
Out of the woods
              C              G
They’re gonna smoke you out
              Am             C
They’re gonna find you out
              G
They’re gonna smoke you out
           Am
Out of the woods
              C              G
They’re gonna find you out

              Am             C
They’re gonna smoke you out
              G
