The Cave
By Mumford and Sons
Verse
It's empty in the
C#m
valley of your
E
heart
The sun, it rises
C#m
slowly as you
E
walk
Away from all the
C#m
fears
And all the
E
faults you've
B
left
E
behind
A
E
The harvest left no
C#m
food for you to
E
eat
You cannibal, you
C#m
meat-eater, you
E
see
But I have seen the
C#m
same
I know the
E
shame in
B
your
E
defeat
A
E
Chorus
But
E
I will
A
hold on
E
hope
And
E
I won't
A
let you
E
choke
A
On the noose
E
around your
B
neck
And
C#m
I'll find
A
strength in
E
pain
And
C#m
I will
A
change my
E
ways
A
I'll know my
E
name as it's
B
called again

Cause I have

You take what is

Now let me at the

Which will ref

So tie me to a
C#m
post and block my
E
ears
I can see
C#m
widows and orphans through my
E
tears
I know my call d
C#m
espite my faults
And

despite my

Verse
So come out of your
C#m
cave walking on your
E
hands
And see the world
C#m
hanging upside
E
down
You can understand
C#m
dependence
When you
E
know the
B
maker's
E
hand
A
E
Bridge
So
E
make your
A
siren's
E
call
And
E
sing
A
all you
E
want
I
A
will not
E
hear what you
B
have to say
Cause
C#m
I need
A
freedom
E
now
And
C#m
I need
A
to know h
E
ow
To
A
live my
E
life as it's
B
meant to be
