[Intro]
Am      F   Am    F

[Verse 1]
          Am                 
There are wild wolves howling 
 F
at the moon
          Am              
There's a wilted rose that 
      F
will never bloom
      Am               
It's a devil's mile on 
  F
a demon's day
             C
We're bound away
          Am          
There's a child's tear 
          F
spilling from a dream
       Am                
Near a dying heart tearing
  F
 at the seam
        Am               
With a tilted tongue that 
  F
fell astray
             C
We're bound away
             F
We're bound away

[Chorus]
            C       F
We're bound Away
       Am                 F
With a better chance for another day
      Am                 F
And a child's dream that won't decay
             C
We're bound away
             F
We're bound away
             C
We're bound away

[Verse 2]
       Am                  F
It's a faded hope that that 
took the night
       Am                  F
From a loathing fear in a firefight
    Am                  F
We didn't turn from the withered fray
            C
We're bound away
          Am                 
There are wild winds shifting
 F
 in a storm
       Am           
As the midnight hour 
       F
will soon be born
     Am                
To a poet's song, while 
     F
the prophets pray
            C
We're bound away
            F
We're bound away

[Chorus]
            C         F
We're bound away
       Am                 F
With a better chance for another day
      Am                 F
And a child's dream that won't decay
            C
We're bound away
            F
We're bound away
            C
We're bound away
