The Flame In The Flood

C – Am – F – E7

[Intro]
C - Am

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Am – F – C – E7   x2
Am
