Verse 1
G Am7We flew over the cascades
Cadd9We were forced to behave while we sat
In rows like children
G Am7I crossed some standard state lines
Cadd9 Cmaj7 GAnd finally found myself so far away from home
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us,
Cadd9 Cmaj7 GOur bones were cold as sticks and stones
G Am7We flew over the cascades
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known
The winds blew like a beast with wings
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
DI failed to cut its neck
Verse 2
G Am7Even after hours of waiting
Cadd9 Cmaj7 GThere was no telling when the storm would find its way
The lands we tried to memorize
Cadd9 Cmaj7 GWe're no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red
G Am7And through the night the storm held me down
And bit my neck and said it’d be okay
G Am7I stared into the fury
Cadd9 Cmaj7And the beauty of its overwhelming strength
ChorusA7sus4 D
The winds blew like a beast with wings
A7sus4And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
DI failed to cut its neck
A7sus4 Cadd9 A7sus4 Cadd9 A7sus4
Bridge
I saw a dim light
In the mouth of the beast
So I followed it in
A7sus4It's too late to retreat
It swallowed me whole
Cadd9And my flesh became meat
Oh I can't look back now
Because the beast is complete
End
Cadd9We flew over the cascades
We were forced to behave
