Of Monsters And Men

        Bm
In the spring we made a boat

Out of feathers, out of bones
        G           D
We set fire to our homes,
        G                D
Walking barefoot in the snow
         Bm
Distant rhythm of the drum

As we drifted towards the storm
      G             D
Baby lion lost his teeth,
             G               D
Now they're swimming in the sea

          Bm
Troubled spirits on my chest

Where they laid to rest
               G            D
The birds all left my tall friend,
        G             D
As your body hit the sand
         Bm
Million stars up in the sky

Formed a tigers eye
             G          D
That looked down on my face,
        G               D
Out of time and out of place

   Em
So hold on,
 G              Em
Hold on to what we are,
 G              Bm
Hold on to your heart

Bm  G  D  G  D
La la la...
Bm  G  D  G  D  Bm
La la la...

 Bm
Awaken by the sound

of a screaming owl
         G            D
Chasing leafs in the wind,
       G                 D
Going where we've never been
         Bm
Said goodbye to you my friend,

As the fire spread
           G              D
All that's left are your bones
           G              D
That will soon sink like stones

 Em
So hold on,
 G              Em
Hold on to what we are,
 G              Bm
Hold on to your heart

Bm  G  D  G  D
La la la...
Bm  G  D  G  D
La la la...

 Em
So hold on,
 G              Bm
Hold on to your heart
