[Verse 2] Am C
Her dirty paws and furry coat
Fmaj7
She ran down the forest slope
Am C
The forest of talking trees
Fmaj7
They used to sing about the birds and the bees
Am C
The bees had declared a war
Fmaj7
The sky wasn't big enough for them all

From dirty paws and the creatures of snow

They were scared down in their holes

The forest that once was green
Fmaj7
Was colored black by those killing machines
Am C
But she and her furry friends
Fmaj7
Took down the queen bee and her men

And that's how the story goes

The story of the beast with those four dirty paws

Taking over this town, they should worry

But these problems aside I think I taught you well
Am Fmaj7 C
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we wont' run
Am Fmaj7 C
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we won't run

Looking down on these bright blue city lights

And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait

We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay

I heard them calling in the distance

Far away from all the trouble

I had caused with my two hands

Out of feathers, out of bones.

Walking barefoot in the snow.

As we drifted towards the storm.

Now they're swimming in the sea.
Troubled spirits on my chest

and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me
[Verse 2]C Am
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
Fmaj7 C
That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours
