Tom: C [Intro] C Am Am F In the backwaters beyond fables and years C E7 Is freedom in moving on Am F There's a silence that may be heard loud and clear C E7 In the simple, wild, and natural cadence F Keep my eyes opened C Keep my ears sharpened E7 There's nothing to fear Am But fear itself in F C Oh desperation, chasing horizons E7 Am In the flame and the flood Am F Through the briers and the brambles in my tears C E7 Am There's no failure in true survival F Or the trials and tales of old that cut me near C E7 F Will help keep my he-ad above the water F Keep my eyes opened C Keep my ears sharpened E7 There's nothing to fear Am But fear itself in F C Oh desperation, chasing horizons E7 Am In the flame and the flood ( Am F C E7 ) ( Am )
