[Verse 1]
C
When we set out on the road

        F                     C
I said, “Boys, we’re heading west

        Am     G        F             C
We will walk under this sun until it sets”

C
We had the best intentions

        F                     C
And the road was straight and true

        Am       G     F             C
We promised that we’d follow it to you
C F Am G/B F C [Verse 2]
C
With our shadows growing longer

        F           C
We picked up our pace

      Am     G        F         C
Knowing if we rested, we would rust

C
As the cold crept up our backs

           F              C
Under the last remaining rays

    Am       G       F                 C
We never stopped to think who we could trust
[Pre-chorus]
   D7               F            C
And when the night came to the highway

   D7               F            C
The horizon turned black from blue

F                  Fmaj7
Oh, Mother Nature, where are you going?

G
Can we go too?
[Chorus]
                    C7
We’re longing to be safe

C7   C13  C7  F  C7    C7
Safe in your arms     Safe

C7   C13  C7  F  C7
Safe in your arms

Em7/B  Em/D  G/D  C
Safe    in   your arms

Em7/B  Em/D  G/D  C
Safe    in   your arms

          D7           F      C   
Can we be safe in your arms again?
C F Am G/B F C [Verse 3]
C
We poisoned all the ghosts

        F           C
We poisoned all the rivers

      Am     G        F                 C
We burned away the last light of the day

C
When we finally hit the coast

        F           C
We had nothing to deliver

                Am     G        F                 C
And there was nothing there that we could take away
[Pre-chorus]
   D7           F            C
Where would we be without you?

   D7           F            C
How will we make it through?

F                     Fmaj7
Follow Mother Nature, wherever she’s going

G
You must go too
[Chorus]
                    C7
She's longing to be safe

Safe in your arms     Safe

Safe in your arms
