[Verse 1]
         D6          N.C.
Well the girl in the forest

N.C.                           Em7
Reached out to ease my worried mind

G               G6      A6              D6
Stopped me from falling into a downward spiral

      D6  N.C.                             Em7
I was worn by the city until I finally let go

G           G6       A6                D6
Drifted out to the Sierras on an empty road
[Bridge 1]
             Em7
And careless love

              D6
Won't get you far

          Em7
I found a book of John Muir's

G     A         D6
In an abandoned car
[Verse 2]
             D6        N.C.
Mmm well the world was spinning so fast

N.C.            Em7
Nobody took the time

           G           G6      A6
It was the girl in the forest
Riff 1 Who opened my eyes [Bridge 2]
G6                  A6               Riff1
What part of nature can you honestly say

     G6             A6          Bm         G5    F#   Em
Is beyond your explanations for short term gain

    F#             Bm            A    A   G5  F#5
Something's got to change before everything's
[Verse 3]
E5    D6        N.C.             Em7
Gonna disappear right before our eyes

       G6              A6                  D
And we finally face ourselves alone in the forest

A     G       D     A        G         D6   Em7     D6
Where so much rides on which path we decide oh, mmm
