Verse 1
[G]We flew over the [Am7]cascades
We were forced to [Cadd9]behave while we sat
In rows like [Cmaj7]children[G]
[G]I crossed some standard [Am7]state lines
And finally [Cadd9]found myself so far away from [Cmaj7]home[G]
[G]And even though New England [Am7]intrigued us, thrilled us,
[Cadd9]Our bones were cold as sticks [Cmaj7]and stones[G]
[G]We flew over the [Am7]cascades
Just to [Cadd9]find ourselves in storms we've never [Cmaj7]known
Chorus
A7Sus4 D
The winds blew like a beast with wings
A7Sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
I [D]failed to cut its neck
Verse 2
[G]Even after [Am7]hours of waiting
There was no [Cadd9]telling when the storm would find its [Cmaj7]way[G]
[G]The lands we tried to [Am7]memorize
We're no [Cadd9]longer wrapped in tepid shades of [Cmaj7]red[G]
[G]And through the night the storm [Am7]held me down
And [Cadd9]bit my neck and said itâ??d be [Cmaj7]okay[G]
[G]I stared into the [Am7]fury
And the [Cadd9]beauty of its overwhelming [Cmaj7]strength
Chorus
A7Sus4 D
The winds blew like a beast with wings
A7Sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
I [D]failed to cut its neck
A7Sus4 Cadd9 A7Sus4 Cadd9 A7Sus4
Bridge
I saw a dim light
In the mouth of the [Cadd9]beast
So I followed it in
A7Sus4
It's too late to retreat
It swallowed me whole
And my flesh became [Cadd9]meat
Oh I can't look back now
Because the beast is comp[G]lete
[End]
We flew over the cas[Cadd9]cades
We were forced to be[Cmaj7]have
