Well the girl in the forest N.C. Em7 Reached out to ease my worried mind Stopped me from falling into a downward spiral I was worn by the city until I finally let go Drifted out to the Sierras on an empty road [Bridge 1] And careless love Won’t get you far I found a book of John Muir’s In an abandoned car [Verse 2] D6 N.C. Mmm well the world was spinning so fast N.C. Em7 Nobody took the time It was the girl in the forest Riff 1 Who opened my eyes [Bridge 2] G6 A6 Riff1 What part of nature can you honestly say Is beyond your explanations for short term gain Something’s got to change before everything’s [Verse 3] Gonna disappear right before our eyes And we finally face ourselves alone in the forest Where so much rides on which path we decide oh mmm
