Tabbed By: LYNX-Music

INTRO: C

VERSE:

Lost in skies of powdered gold

Caught in clouds of silver ropes

Showered by the empty hopes

As I tumble down falling fast to the ground

PRE-CHORUS

I know I'll wither

So peel away the bark

Because nothing

Grows when it is dark

In spite of all my fears

I can see it all so clear

I see it all so clear

CHORUS:

Wohoo

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

Wohoo

Cover your crystal eyes

And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

VERSE:

Making ways in pitch black sand

Feel the salt dance on my hands

Raw and charcoal coloured thighs

Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin

PRE-CHORUS:

(G)

I know I'll wither

So peel away the bark

Because nothing

Grows when it is dark

In spite of all my fears

I can see it all so clear

I see it all so clear

CHORUS:

Wohoo

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

Wohoo

Cover your crystal eyes

And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

BRIDGE:

But I'm OK in see-through skin

I forgive what is within

Because I'm in this house, I'm in this home

All my time

CHORUS:

Wohoo

Cover your crystal eyes

And feel the tones that tremble down your spine

Wohoo

Cover your crystal eyes

And let your colours bleed and blend with mine

VERSE 1

When the words

Weigh heavy on the heart

I am lost

And led only by the stars

PRECHORUS

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon throne

CHORUS

Breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

Breathe in, breathe out

And let it in

Plants awoke and they slowly grow

Beneath the skin

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

VERSE 2

The air is silk

Shadows form a grin

If I lose control

I feed the beast within

PRECHORUS

Cage me like an animal

A crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal

Chase the neon throne

CHORUS

Breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

Breathe in, breathe out

And let it in

Plants awoke and they slowly grow

Beneath the skin

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the human in

VERSE

You were right, I'll move on

But my lungs feel so small

I lay my head on the floor

My beating heart wanted more

^ ^

For those Gs I'm pretty sure in the live performances I hear

the open B string played (3xx00x) but I don't hear it in the studio

version so you can just play what you like best

VERSE 2

And for the longest time I knew

There was nothing left for us to do

But I tried, oh I try

And in this quiet company

There is nothing staring back at me

I'm in need of a sound

CHORUS

Hungry for the kill

But this hunger it isn't you

Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes

I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too

Hungry for the kill

But this hunger it isn't you

It isn't you, it isn't

E|--------------3-------------2--------------------3------------2--------------|

VERSE 3

I grew tall to fill the void

Let me go because you are just a shade of what I am

Not what I'll be

But in this quiet company

I forgot sometimes just how to breathe

Fill my lungs with a sound

CHORUS

Hungry for the kill

But this hunger it isn't you

Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes

I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too

Hungry for the kill

But this hunger it isn't you

It isn't you, it isn't

BRIDGE/OUTRO

I'm drowning, I'm drowning

04. Wolves Without Teeth 3:53

Tabbed By: kaydulay

Raggi plays with no capo and Nanna plays with a capo on the second fret so I just

listed the chords Nanna plays at the bottom if you prefer to play that

STANDARD TUNING

VERSE

Open my chest and color the spine

I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all

Swallow my breath and take what is mine

I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all

I'll be the blood if you'll be the bones

I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all

So lift all my body and lose all control

I'm giving you all, I'm giving you all

PRECHORUS

You hover like a hummingbird, haunt me in my sleep

You're sailing from another world

Sinking in my sea, you're feeding on my energy

I'm letting go of it, she wants it

CHORUS

And I run from wolves, hoo ooh ooh

Breathing heavily at my feet

And I run from wolves, hoo ooh ooh

Tearing into me without teeth

VERSE

I can see through you, we are the same

It's perfectly strange, you run in my veins

How can I keep you inside my lungs

I breathe what is yours, you breathe what is mine

PRECHORUS

You hover like a hummingbird, haunt me in my sleep

You're sailing from another world

Sinking in my sea, you're feeding on my energy

I'm letting go of it, he wants it

CHORUS

And I run from wolves, hoo ooh ooh

Breathing heavily at my feet

And I run from wolves, hoo ooh ooh

Tearing into me without teeth

And you can follow

You can follow me

You can follow

You can follow me

BRIDGE

You hover like a hummingbird, haunt me in my sleep

You're sailing from another world

Sinking in my sea, oh you're feeding on my energy

I'm letting go of it, she wants it

CHORUS

Breathing heavily at my feet

And I run from wolves, hoo ooh ooh

Tearing into me without teeth

Tabbed By: kaydulay

CAPO 3

Feel the ocean as it breathes, shivering teeth

See the mountains where they meet, smotherin me

As the wind fends off the waves, I count down the days

Heavy stones fear no weather

VERSE 2

I find comfort in the sound, and the shape of the heart

How it echoes through the chest from under the ground

As the hills turn into holes, I fill them with gold

Heavy stones fear no weather

CHORUS

And from the rain comes a river running wild

That will create an empire for you

Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create

an empire for you

an empire for two

an empire for you

an empire for two

VERSE 3

And I paint your body black, I hide in your hair

And you're staring back at me like I wasn't there

As our bodies become stills, we welcome the fear

Heavy stones fear no weather

CHORUS 2

And from the rain comes a river running wild

That will create an empire for you

Illuminate, there's a river running wild that will create

an empire for you

an empire for two

an empire for you

an empire for two

06. Winter Sound 3:42

Tabbed By: Davetran

[Intro]

[Verse]

Stop, You're cold against the skin

You take me in your arms when walls are closing in

And I run, I run, I run, awakening my heart

But you overwhelm my lungs, It's tearing me a-part

[Chorus]

You and I will not be shaken!

By the winter sound

But my voice is suffocating

In the winter sound

oo-oo-oo-ooooo

Whoa-oh-ohhhh-oh

oo-oo-oo-ooooo

Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh

[Verse]

Stop, I will take control

Bend the metal in-to shapes that I, know

And I run, I run, I run, further than before

I shake away the skin to saturate my, soul

[Chorus]

You and I will not be shaken!

By the winter sound

But my voice is suffocating

In the winter sound

You and I will not be shaken!

By the winter sound

But my voice is suffocating

In the winter sound

[Verse]

And you scream, you scratch, you bite

You prey on my heart

And I know that you and I can never be a-part

[Bridge]

oo-oo-oo-ooooo

Whoa-oh-ohhhh-oh

oo-oo-oo-ooooo

Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-ohhhh-oh

oo-oo-oo-ooooo

Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh-Whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus]

You and I will not be shaken!

By the winter sound

But my voice is suffocating

In the winter

You and I will not be shaken!

By the winter sound

But my voice is suffocating

In the winter sound

07. Slow Life 5:43

Tabbed By: kaydulay

CAPO 5

VERSE

What are they talking about

On the weekends

Lost in the forest of this heart

Is a foreign still

Why are they shaking their heads

We're stuck in slow life

Is it the beating of the chest

That makes us feel the rest

INTERLUDE:

Or here is the other guitar part (Also with capo on the 5th)

E|-----------------------3--3----3----------------------------|

We're slowly sailing away

Behind closed eyes

Where not a single ray of light

Can puncture through the night

CHORUS

You caught me in a tide

And I caught you

Sheltered by the night

Red in tooth and red in claw

You saw me in new light

And I saw you

Sheltered by the night

Red in tooth and red in claw

VERSE

Between the daylight

And the deep sea

Lies a swarm of silhouettes

Floating aimlessy

But I'm a mountain

I am a killer

You'll get lost and buried deep

If you swim with me

CHORUS

You caught me in a tide

And I caught you

Sheltered by the night

Red in tooth and red in claw

You saw me in new light

And I saw you

Sheltered by the night

Red in tooth and red in claw

BRIDGE

Whoa oh, whoa oh oh

So look at you look at me

All because we need to know

So look at me look at you

All because we'll never to know
