[Verse]

C                   F
 The cave mouth shines
C                      F
 By pure force of will
C                         F
 I look down on the world
C                      F
 From the top of this lonesome hill
                C                   G
 And you can run, and run some more
       C                            F
 From here all the way to singapore
           C              G            C
 But i will carry you home in my teeth
C
 
[Verse]

C                           F
 In the great hall you drink red wine
C                           F
 You chew meat off the bone
C                     F
 I beat down the new path to the castle
C                       F
 I come naked and alone
           C                                    G
 I laid my son on the bier, i burned the wreath
        C                        F
 Fire overhead, water underneath
           C                     G
 You can stand up or you can run
          C                           F
 You and i both know what you've done
           C               G
 And i will carry you home
       C               F
 I will carry you home
       C              G            C
 I will carry you home in my teeth
