Intro C  - Am 

verse 1 

Am                F 
In the backwaters beyond fables and years 
C          E 
Is freedom in moving on 
Am                         F       
There's a silence that may be heard loud and clear 
C                        E 
In the simple, wild, and natural cadence 

 
[Refrão]

F 
Keep my eyes opened 
C 
Keep my ears sharpened 
E 
There's nothing to fear 
Am 
But fear itself in 
F               C 
Oh desperation, chasing horizons 
E                    Am 
In the flame and the flood 

verse 2 
Am                         F 
Through the briers and the brambles in my tears 
C                     E 
There's no failure in true survival 
Am                      F 
Or the trials and tales of old that cut me near 
C                      E 
Will help keep my head above the water 


[Refrão]

F 
Keep my eyes opened 
C 
Keep my ears sharpened 
E 
There's nothing to fear 
Am 
But fear itself in 
F               C 
Oh desperation, chasing horizons 
E                    Am 
In the flame and the flood
