C – Am – F – E7
[Intro]
C - Am
[Verse 1]
Am F
In the backwaters beyond fables and years
C E7
Is freedom in moving on
Am F
There's a silence that may be heard loud and clear
C E7
In the simple, wild, and natural cadence
[Chorus]
F
Keep my eyes opened
C
Keep my ears sharpened
E7
There's nothing to fear
Am
But fear itself in
F C
Oh desperation, chasing horizons
E7 Am
In the flame and the flood
[Verse 2]
Am F
Through the briers and the brambles in my tears
C E7 Am
There's no failure in true survival
F
Or the trials and tales of old that cut me near
C E7 F
Will help keep my he-ad above the water
[Chorus]
F
Keep my eyes opened
C
Keep my ears sharpened
E7
There's nothing to fear
Am
But fear itself in
F C
Oh desperation, chasing horizons
E7 Am
In the flame and the flood
[Outro]
Am – F – C – E7 x2
Am
