Verse 1
G                Am7
We flew over the cascades
                  Cadd9
We were forced to behave while we sat
             Cmaj7        G
In rows like children
G                       Am7
I crossed some standard state lines
            Cadd9                         Cmaj7     G
And finally found myself so far away from home
G                           Am7
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us,
Cadd9                         Cmaj7        G
Our bones were cold as sticks and stones
G                Am7
We flew over the cascades
        Cadd9                                Cmaj7
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never 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
  D
I failed to cut its neck

Verse 2
G          Am7
Even after hours of waiting
             Cadd9                                 Cmaj7       G
There was no telling when the storm would find its way
G                     Am7
The lands we tried to memorize
         Cadd9                             Cmaj7     G
We're no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red
G                               Am7
And through the night the storm held me down
    Cadd9                          Cmaj7    G
And bit my neck and said it’d be okay
G                 Am7
I stared into the fury
        Cadd9                      Cmaj7
And the beauty of its overwhelming 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
  D
I failed to cut its neck

A7sus4   Cadd9   A7sus4   Cadd9   A7sus4

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
