[Bb] Wherever we go, we'll never be lost
Some follow the compass, while some follow the cross
[Db] Me, I follow those compulsively, till sirens call me off
Then I [Ab] wander, eyes closed, following songs
[Bb] Rivers of hymnal and the leaf of a plough
Trees singing whispers, with the wind pulling their arms
[Db] Hold still and listen, your hand on my heart
If [Ab] 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 is beaten good, but if we evolve they want it ruined
[Db] Hold gruff, hold hope, let the brave old scrape [Fm] your skin
Scarce a storybook, wanna wash away [Bbm] your sins
Now let [Bbm] that sun slip, then let that moon rise
Following no footsteps, listen for the true [Db] guides
Wood to play tricks upon pretty blue eyes
Is [Fm] that glimmer for river, or your village finally brought back to [Bbm] life?
Follow me tonight, I'll show you [Db] what it's like
To be [Ab] 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
We can follow this river right back to [Db] your home
Back to your home, [Fm] back to your home
[Bbm] Palace in Versailles, a hundred years before this day
Packing up supplies, preparing for a [Db] long trip
They may not survive, many of them know this
[Fm] They would rather die than believe the question is asking
So, so, so, [Bbm] so, so, so, so, this is why we try
We bet it all on hopeless, then swim against the tide
Until our every bone is broken
[Db] Our sinking ship is still a ship, your captain's boat
Deobed [Fm] till the crew is float, girls nested silent beneath the [Bbm] ocean
We set sail without an anchor, we count upon that never stopping
Like carpenter nails, waiting for that hammer [Db] drive
It holds you by the ankles, till it pulls you to the [Fm] anchor
Unable to be able to slip out from under devil's [Bbm] love
Keep your anchors, my home is where my head 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 too [Bbm] slavish and I know
It seems like we're all lost
We can follow this river [Db] back home
River back home, river [Fm] back home Home, home
[Bbm] Land, home
Seems like we're all lost
We see the secrets, we know the [Db] unknown
Know the unknown, [Fm] know the unknown
[Bbm] Keep your anchors, my anchor, just this run
We can follow this river back to your [Db] 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 [Fm] the unknown
