[Intro]
(fade in)
F#m Dmaj7 x8
[Chorus]
F#m
we go and hike in the woods
what a perfect place to be
Dmaj7
all my troubles behind
no sign of reality
F#m
I could live here and build
a shelter out of trees
Dmaj7
say goodbye to the world
no electricity
F#m
the way the sun hits the water
I swear I see God himself
Dmaj7
I feel shame, I feel hurt
it's like I'm somebody else
F#m
I try to hide but it's not
gonna help or save me
Dmaj7
cover up all the shame
like Adam and Eve
[Verse 1]
F#m
I intimidate her
I think she's scared of me
Dmaj7
cause your biggest fear is that I'll leave
F#m
and then you'll carry on
like nothing happened
Dmaj7
and then you'll think about me one night and leech in
F#m
why don't you try me
I'm always hiding
Dmaj7
I'm like a needle in a haystack, you won't find me
F#m
my teeth, I'm grinding
feel like I'm flying
Dmaj7
I told you once, I'll say again you'll never find me
[Verse 2]
F#m
hanging out down by the creek
Dmaj7
couple deer following me
F#m
if I stop to look at them they just stand there as if they freeze
why haven't they ran away?
Dmaj7
figured they wouldn't have stayed
F#m
hear some branches crack behind now I'm paranoid of this place
Dmaj7
look to my left and my right
check my shoulder one more time
F#m
maybe I'm a schizophrenic, I be fearing for my life
Dmaj7
you hear that, you hear the tones?
I'm convinced I'm not alone
F#m
maybe I'll go deeper in the forest to find out if I'm pyscho
[Chorus]
F#m
we go and hike in the woods
what a perfect place to be
Dmaj7
all my troubles behind
no sign of reality
F#m
I could live here and build
a shelter out of trees
Dmaj7
say goodbye to the world
no electricity
F#m
the way the sun hits the water
I swear I see God himself
Dmaj7
I feel shame, I feel hurt
it's like I'm somebody else
F#m
I try to hide but it's not
gonna help or save me
Dmaj7
cover up all the shame
like Adam and Eve
[Outro]
F#m Dmaj7 x4
