Verse 1
SOL LAm7
We flew over the cascades
DOadd9
We were forced to behave while we sat
DOmaj7 SOL
In rows like children
SOL LAm7
I crossed some standard state lines
DOadd9 DOmaj7 SOL
And finally found myself so far away from home
SOL LAm7
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us,
DOadd9 DOmaj7 SOL
Our bones were cold as sticks and stones
SOL LAm7
We flew over the cascades
DOadd9 DOmaj7
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known
Chorus
LA7sus4 RE
The winds blew like a beast with wings
LA7sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
RE
I failed to cut its neck
Verse 2
SOL LAm7
Even after hours of waiting
DOadd9 DOmaj7 SOL
There was no telling when the storm would find its way
SOL LAm7
The lands we tried to memorize
DOadd9 DOmaj7 SOL
We're no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red
SOL LAm7
And through the night the storm held me down
DOadd9 DOmaj7 SOL
And bit my neck and said it’d be okay
SOL LAm7
I stared into the fury
DOadd9 DOmaj7
And the beauty of its overwhelming strength
Chorus
LA7sus4 RE
The winds blew like a beast with wings
LA7sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
RE
I failed to cut its neck
LA7sus4 DOadd9 LA7sus4 DOadd9 LA7sus4
Bridge
I saw a dim light
DOadd9
In the mouth of the beast
So I followed it in
LA7sus4
It's too late to retreat
It swallowed me whole
DOadd9
And my flesh became meat
Oh I can't look back now
SOL
Because the beast is complete
End
DOadd9
We flew over the cascades
DOmaj7
We were forced to behave
