Wilderness Teclado

	   
 

Intro:   (strum)       (strum) 

G 
get em up get em up get your shoulders up 
get your backbone straight 
keep an empty cup 
    Bm 
put your axe in the wood 
get your focus fixed 
keep your body in the ring 
gotta take some licks 

     C 
and let it all come back to you 
all the memories 
which she put you through 
         G 
bring it up to the light 
put it in a frame 
        D 
hang it out in the open where the children play 

       C 
let it sting your eyes 
clamp your chest 
lead with love 
and embrace the rest 
D 
embrace the demons 
with all their claws 
embrace this life 
with all its scars 

    G 
and how can I forgive of you 
things you said you'd never do 
Em 
words you said you'd never say 
darling how'd we lose our way 
       C 
in the wilderness 
just trying our best 
         G        D 
to stay free 

Intro 

      G 
at an empty space on the edge of town 
you had us meet on neutral ground 
     Bm 
your coat was grey 
your eyes were blue 
my arms and hands ached for you 

   C 
my stolen train 
my flock of birds 
when your lips said those words 
G 
trees went black 
angels fell 
D 
armies burned the carousel 

C 
say you didn't mean a thing 
say you're coming home again 
D 
up the river of regret 
say we ain't seen nothin' yet 

G 
how can I forgive of you 
things you said you'd never do 
Em 
words you said you'd never say 
darling how'd we lose our way 
       C 
in the wilderness 
where loneliness 
         G     D 
cuts so deep 

    G 
and all the expectations we 
put upon ourselves to be 
Em 
things our parents never would 
how could we have been so sure 
       C 
in the wilderness 
just tryin' our best 
         G     D 
to stay free
