Am Wherever we go, we'll never be lost Some follow the compass rose, some follow the cross C Me, I follow roads compulsively, till sirens call me off Em Then I wander, eyes closed, following songs Am This rivers a hymnal, the leaves are applause The trees sing in whispers, with the wind pulling their arms C Hold still, and listen, your hand on my heart Em If you need them, these beacons will lead you back to the start Yup Am 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 Old growth, holds hope, let the brambles scrape your skin Em Scars are storybooks, blood will wash away your sins Am Now let that sun slip, then let that moon rise Follow in no footsteps, listen for the true guides C Woods will play tricks upon pretty blue eyes Em Is that glimmer the river, or your village finally brought Am back to life? Follow me tonight, I'll show you C what's it like Em To be alive Am I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets, C We know the unknown, know the unknown Em Know the unknown Am Keep close, hold my hand now, just be strong We can follow this river right C back to your home Back to your home Em Back to your home Am At the palace in Versilles, 400 years before this day They're packing up supplies, preparing for a long trip C They may not survive, but many of them know this Em They would rather die, than to leave the question open Am 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 A sinking ship is still a ship, no captain spoke the obit Em Till the crew is flew, crow's nest slips silent beneath the ocean Am 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 It holds you by the ankles till it pulls you to the Acheron Em Trade stable to be able to slip out from under devil's thumb Am Keep your anchors, my home is where my hat is hung Postcard printed paper, and love notes from the lattice rungs C Blessed are the vagrant, the lonely are the static ones Em It's every drifter's confirmation this world is just ravishing Am I know it seems like we're all lost, we can follow this C river back home River back home Em River back home Am I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets, C we know the unknown Know the unknown Em Know the unknown Am Keep close, hold my hand now, just be strong We can follow this river right C back to your home Back to your home Em Back to your home Am I know it seems like we're all lost, we see the secrets, C we know the unknown Know the unknown Em Know the unknown Am
