[Verse 1]
G                Am7
We flew over the cascades

                  Cadd9
We were forced to behave while we sat

             Cmaj7        G
In rows like children

G                       Am7
I crossed some standard state lines

            Cadd9                         Cmaj7     G
And finally found myself so far away from home

G                           Am7
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us,

Cadd9                         Cmaj7        G
Our bones were cold as sticks and stones

G                Am7
We flew over the cascades

        Cadd9                                Cmaj7
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known
[Chorus]
A7sus4                              D
The winds blew like a beast with wings

                                       A7sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
  D
I failed to cut its neck
[Verse 2]
G          Am7
Even after hours of waiting

             Cadd9                                 Cmaj7       G
There was no telling when the storm would find its way

G                     Am7
The lands we tried to memorize

         Cadd9                             Cmaj7     G
We're no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red

G                               Am7
And through the night the storm held me down

    Cadd9                          Cmaj7    G
And bit my neck and said it’d be okay

G                 Am7
I stared into the fury

        Cadd9                      Cmaj7
And the beauty of its overwhelming strength
[Chorus]
A7sus4                              D
The winds blew like a beast with wings

                                       A7sus4
And yes, everything was blown so far away
And I fell down
  D
I failed to cut its neck
A7sus4 Cadd9 A7sus4 Cadd9 A7sus4 [Bridge] I saw a dim light
                    Cadd9
In the mouth of the beast
So I followed it in
                         A7sus4
It's too late to retreat
It swallowed me whole
                    Cadd9
And my flesh became meat
Oh I can't look back now
                         G
Because the beast is complete
[Outro]
                    Cadd9
We flew over the cascades

                    Cmaj7
We were forced to behave
