Verse 1

G Get em up get em up get your shoulders up Get your backbone straight Keep an empty cup Bm Put your axe in the wood Get your focus fixed Keep your body in the ring Gotta take some licks Bm C/G And let it all come back to you All the memories Which she put you through G Bring it up to the light Put it in a frame D Hang it out in the open where the children play

Pre-Chorus

C/G Let it sting your eyes Clamp your chest Lead with love And embrace the rest D Embrace the demons With all their claws Embrace this life With all its scars

Chorus

G And how can I forgive of you Things you said you'd never do Em Words you said you'd never say Darling how'd we lose our way C/G In the wilderness Just trying our best G D To stay free C Em C Em D

Verse 2

G At an empty space on the edge of town You had us meet on neutral ground Bm Your coat was grey Your eyes were blue My arms and hands ached for you Bm C/G My stolen train My flock of birds When your lips said those words G Trees went black Angels fell D Armies burned the carousel

Pre-Chorus

C/G Say you didn't mean a thing Say you're coming home again D Up the river of regret Say we ain't seen nothin' yet

Chorus

G How can I forgive of you Things you said you'd never do Em Words you said you'd never say Darling how'd we lose our way C/G In the wilderness Where loneliness G D Cuts so deep G And all the expectations we Put upon ourselves to be Em Things our parents never would How could we have been so sure C/G In the wilderness Just tryin' our best G D To stay free
