Chords for Astronautalis - The River, The Woods |HD|

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ Wherever we go, we'll never be lost
Follow the compass, or some follow the cross
[Bbm] Me, I follow roads [Db] compulsively, till sirens call me off
[Ab] Then I wander, eyes closed, following song
[Bb] Rivers to hymnal, in the leaves of applause
Trees singing whispers, with the wind pulling their arms
Hold [Db] still, and listen, you're hanging my heart
[Ab] If you need them, these beacons will lead you back to the start
[Bbm] No access in these woods, since before your father stood
That path has been good, from the feet of all that wandered [Db] through it
Old cross holds hope, let the brave old [Fm] scrape your skin
Scars the storybook, who ought to wash [Bbm] away your sins
Now let that sun slip, then let that moon rise
Following no footsteps, listen for the true guides
[Db] Woods of play tricks, upon pretty blue eyes
[Fm] Is that glimmer to river, or your village finally brought back [Bbm] to life?
_ _ Follow me tonight, _ _ I'll show you what it's [Db] like _
_ To [Ab] be alive _ _ _
[Bbm] I know, seems like we're all lost
We see the secrets, we know the [Db] unknown
Know the unknown, know [Fm] the unknown
_ _ _ [Bbm] Keep close, hold my hand girl, just be strong
You can follow this river right back [Db] to your home
Back to your home, [Fm] back to your home
_ _ _ [Bbm] Alice and Versailles, a hundred years before this
They're packing up supplies, preparing for the [Db] long trip
They may not survive, many of them know this
[Fm] They would rather die, than believe the question of time
So, so, so, [Bbm] so, so, so, this is why we try
We bet it all on hopeless, and swim against the tide
Until our every bone is broken
[Db] A sinking ship is still a ship, captains poked the orbit
[Fm] Till the crew is fluked, crows nested silent beneath the [Bbm] ocean
We set sail without an anchor, we count upon that never stop
An anchor's just a coffin nail, waiting for that hammer [Db] drop
It holds you by the ankles, till it pulls you to the [Fm] anchor
A hundred people to be able to slip out from under devil's [Bbm] love
Keep your anchors, my home is where my hat is hung
Postcard printed paper, and love notes from the [Db] lattice rung
Blessed are the vagrant, the lonely are the static [Fm] ones
It's every drifter's confirmation, this world is just [Bbm] lavishing, I know
It seems like we're all lost, we can follow this river [Db] back home
River back home, river [Fm] back home
_ _ [Bbm] I know, it seems like we're all lost
We see the secrets, we know [Db] the unknown
Know the unknown, know [Fm] the unknown _
_ _ [Bbm] Keep your anchor, hold my hand girl, just be strong
We can follow this river right [Db] back to your home
Back to your home, back to [Fm] your home _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ It seems like we're all lost, but we see the secrets
We know the [Db] unknown, know the unknown
Know [F] the unknown
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
