Quick note; the chords here I got half from Riffstation and half from picking it out by ear (because the ones on the other site didn't really sound right), but if you think a different chord sounds better somewhere you're probably right. In any case, I usually play this on an acoustic with 'cheater' chords- AKA barr chords with all the other strings blunted other than the first three,(or four if the top string is open), just because the g and f minor sound sorta strange, but the c minor and b sound fine. [Verse 1] E When the flames come up G#m I see the fire in your eyes E When the flames come up G#m I can hear a lone wolf cry C#m I wanna pick you up and start to run, away from here B
Before they find me and my smoking gun C#m It fucked me up, the damage done I'm tired of this B I fought a war that can't be won [Chorus 1] E B Maybe you are stronger than I was C#m F#m But trust me cause I know the woods get what they want [Verse 2] E And when the rain comes down G#m I'll watch it wash you to the bone E Baby can you see me now G#m With my eyes clear, I'm sober C#m I remember when you went way B And back you came, like a fucking hurricane C#m You saw a ghost inside of me, it haunted you B You couldn't see the forest for the trees [Chorus 2] E B Maybe you are stronger than I was C#m F#m But trust me cause I know the woods get what they want E The wolves will chase you down B They'll bring you to your knees C#m Run you ragged to the ground F#m Just like they did to me [Bridge] C#m I've had blood on my hands E I stepped over the body of a good man C#m I wanted to change, so I walked away E It was giving me hell, so I gave it the same C#m I've had blood on my hands E I stepped over the body of a good man C#m I wanted to change 'cause I wasn't the same E It was giving me hell, so I gave it away C#m I've had blood on my hands E I stepped over the body of a good man C#m I wanted to change, so I walked away E It was giving me hell, so I gave it the same [Chorus 3] E B Maybe you are stronger than I was C#m F#m But trust me cause I know the woods get what they want E B Heaven only knows where the story's gonna stop C#m F#m I can't believe my eyes, the woods got what they want [Outro] E Can't you feel it in the air right now B The love and the loss, the hate in the rain E Don't I know best C#m B Better the devil that you know, than the devil that you don't F#m Baby blue I understand, I've been here too
