Capo 2
Intro: G
G
We found ourselves on top of a mountain peak
G
The air was thin as a beggar's sleeve
C G
The city lights were miles away
G
The hush was as thick as your winter coat
G
And you wrote our names in the morning snow
C G
With the fallen twigs and berries saved
Am
Well, don't be scared of avalanches
C
Tucked up in my snowy branches
G
I will
G
Oh I will
G
Oh I will
Am C G
I will keep you safe
Stay on G
G
The sun is overhead and you lift your face
G
Up to the sky and you sing this place
C G
The sweetest song it's ever known
G
Then slowly the deer and the rabbits crept
G
Outside to hear, the grizzlies left
C
Their great big teeth and their claws
G
At home
Am
Don't be scared of avalanches
C G
Tucked up in my snowy branches, I will
Am
And look how well the gray wolf dances
C
You bring light and second chances
G
I will
Oh I will
Oh oh I will
Oh oh I will
Oh oh I will
Yes, I will
I will
I will
Keep you safe
