verse 1
E
When the flames come up
G#m
I see the fire in your eyes
E
When the flames come up
G#m
I can hear a lone wolf cry
C#m
I wanna pick you up and start to run, away from here
B
Before they find me and my smoking gun
C#m
It fucked me up, the damage done I'm tired of this
B
I fought a war that can't be won
E B
Maybe you are stronger than I was
C#m F#m
But trust me cause I know the woods get what they want
verse 2
E
And when the rain comes down
G#m
I'll watch it wash you to the bone
E
Baby can you see me now
G#m
With my eyes clear, I'm sober
C#m
I remember when you went way
B
And back you came, like a fucking hurricane
C#m
You saw a ghost inside of me, it haunted you
B
You couldn't see the forest for the trees
E B
Maybe you are stronger than I was
C#m F#m
But trust me cause I know the woods get what they want
E
The wolves will chase you down
B
They'll bring you to your knees
C#m
Run you ragged to the ground
F#m
Just like they did to me
Bridge

I stepped over the body of a good man

It was giving me hell, so I gave it away

I've had blood on my hands

I stepped over the body of a good man

Maybe you are stronger than I was

Can't you feel it in the air right now

The love and the loss, the hate in the rain

Don't I know best

Better the devil that you know, than the devil that you don't
F#m
Baby blue I understand, I've been here too
