[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]

They’re gonna find you out

Out of the woods

Out of the woods
