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
Continues after the ad
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
