Intro: G 


G 
We found ourselves on top of a mountain peak 
G 
The air was thin as a beggar's sleeve 
C                          G 
The city lights were miles away 
G 
The hush was as thick as your winter coat 
G 
And you wrote our names in the morning snow  
         C                        G 
With the fallen twigs and berries saved 

      Am  
Well, don't be scared of avalanches 
C 
Tucked up in my snowy branches 
G 
I will 
G 
Oh I will 
G 
Oh I will 
Am     C        G 
I will keep you safe 


Stay on G 


G 
The sun is overhead and you lift your face 
G 
Up to the sky and you sing this place 
    C                       G 
The sweetest song it's ever known 
G 
Then slowly the deer and the rabbits crept 
G 
Outside to hear, the grizzlies left 
      C                  
Their great big teeth and their claws 
   G 
At home 


Am 
Don't be scared of avalanches 
C                               G 
Tucked up in my snowy branches, I will 
Am 
And look how well the gray wolf dances 
C 
You bring light and second chances 
G 
I will 
Oh I will 
Oh oh I will 
Oh oh I will 
Oh oh I will 
Yes, I will 

I will 
I will 
Keep you safe
