Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verses

In the spring we made a boat

Out of feathers, out of bones.

We set fire to our homes,

Walking barefoot in the snow.

Distant rhythm of the drum

As we drifted towards the storm.

Baby lion lost his teeth,

Now they're swimming in the sea.

Troubled spirits on my chest

Where they laid to rest.

The birds all left my tall friend

As your body hit the sand.

Million stars up in the sky

Formed a tigers eye

That looked down on my face,

Out of time and out of place.

Chorus

So hold on,

Hold on to what we are,

Hold on to your heart.

Awaken by the sound

Of a screaming owl.

Chasing leafs in the wind,

Going where we've never been.

Said goodbye to you my friend,

As the fire spread.

All that's left are your bones

That will soon sink like stones

Chorus

So hold on,

Hold on to what we are,

Hold on to your heart.

Instrumental

same as verse

So hold on,

Hold on to your heart.
