Things you need to know:

A subtle rain’s enough to keep the two of us from lover’s leap
Dminor G Bb
And far away from kayaking in shallow lakes nearby
Where motorboats are not allowed and a family begins to crowd
Toward dryer kitchens in cabins they’ve rented near the shore
Far from bored, we imaginate that we’re experts nearing season 8
On The “Let’s Get Crazy Cabin Crew” HGTV show.
And though we know this can’t last forever, a borrowed shelter in stormy weather
We’ll spend this time we have together, making mountain love
F - C D ?
We leave behind all the things that we’ve made
Hoping to find a more meaningful place
A change in perception, a chaotic wave
To wash us right over while we stand brave
A hole in the fence where the roads are unpaved
And ooze with adventure and lead us to caves
I know that we’ll leave here, we’ve people to save
So if there are gods, let me hold this mindframe
(2nd VERSE)

A town and country odyssey, a wind star voyaging chevy
Dminor G Bb
Astro mini superVan, and the family contained within
Know not if there’s a better way to make happiness stay so they
Promise they’ll return from home when chilly rain submits to snow.
So down the mountain, down they go, a CEO from old Frisco
A thousand up, a single horse, astride atop shiny new Porsche
There’s hella dudes, huge trucks with racks,
extreme bro-brahs in fitted caps with bills to backs, forgot exactly what sport team they’re for
I was born to self Navigate, but ancient instincts get replaced
By embraced races safely leading fastest to my cage where there’s
F - C D - Bb
Three squared Miles, a habitat encasing all the
Things I’ve made and the places where I made them
Three squared miles of easy flat terrain where
F C D (notes back to Dminor)
Three square meals fill body and brain
Dminor Bb F Bb
With just enough to do to numb down the memory
C F C F
Of rainfall mountainside, and being there at night
Dminor Bb F Bb
Hard as I try to keep an inner energy
C F
steeped in Wild Scents,
C F
evaporation happens
C F
unless it’s soaked again.
Dminor Bb F Bb
Nomadic Tribes may pepper my ancestry,
C F C F
But Nurture must win out, cuz I don’t leave the house
but
Dminor F Bb
What would the caveman do? ( I ask myself)
What would the caveman do?
What would the caveman do?
"BE BRAVE is the sort of band who make me reconsider throwing in the towel every time I listen to their inventive pop
masterpiece ‘Take A Deep Breath’. There are few occasions when you hear a band for the first time and know implicitly that you are going to love everything that they do. This is one of those bands."
