[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?

Can we be safe in your arms again?

[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?

Follow Mother Nature, wherever she’s going
G
You must go too
