Verse 1:
     D6     N.C.
Well the girl in the forest
N.C.              Em7
Reached out to ease my worried mind
G        G6   A6       D6
Stopped me from falling into a downward spiral
   D6 N.C.               Em7
I was worn by the city until I finally let go
G      G6    A6        D6
Drifted out to the Sierras on an empty road


Bridge 1:
       Em7
And careless love
       D6
Won't get you far
     Em7
I found a book of John Muir's
G   A     D6
In an abandoned car


Verse 2:
       D6    N.C.
Mmm well the world was spinning so fast
N.C.      Em7
Nobody took the time
      G      G6   A6
It was the girl in the forest
       Riff 1
Who opened my eyes


Bridge 2:
G6         A6        Riff1
What part of nature can you honestly say
   G6       A6     Bm     G5  F#  Em
Is beyond your explanations for short term gain
  F#       Bm      A  A  G5 F#5
Something's got to change before everything's


Verse 3:
E5  D6    N.C.       Em7
Gonna disappear right before our eyes
    G6       A6         D
And we finally face ourselves alone in the forest
A   G    D   A    G     D6  Em7   D6
Where so much rides on which path we decide oh, mmm
