Verse 1
GAm7
We flew over the cascades
Cadd9
We were forced to behave while we sat
Cmaj7G
In rows like children
GAm7
I crossed some standard state lines
Cadd9CmajG
And finally found myself so far away from home
GAm7
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us,
Cadd9Cmaj7G
Our bones were cold as sticks and stones
GAm7
We flew over the cascades
Cadd9Cmaj7
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known
Chorus
A7sus4D
The winds blew like a beast with wings
A7sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
D
I failed to cut its neck
Verse 2
GAm7
Even after hours of waiting
Cadd9CmaG7
There was no telling when the storm would find its way
GAm7
The lands we tried to memorize
Cadd9CmaG7
We're no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red
GAm7
And through the night the storm held me down
Cadd9CmGj7
And bit my neck and said it?d be okay
GAm7
I stared into the fury
Cadd9Cmaj7
And the beauty of its overwhelming strength
Chorus
A7sus4D
The winds blew like a beast with wings
A7sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
D
I failed to cut its neck
ACACA7sus4
Bridge
I saw a dim light
Cadd9
In the mouth of the beast
So I followed it in
A7sus4
It's too late to retreat
It swallowed me whole
Cadd9
And my flesh became meat
Oh I can't look back now
G
Because the beast is complete
End
Cadd9
We flew over the cascades
Cmaj7
We were forced to behave
