Verse 1:
Dm
   You don't know fear
           C
Till it's calling from behind
        Bb
And the streets that are familiar
       A
Seem to stretch out at night

     Dm
They dragged her to the woods
              C
They couldn't leave Anne on her own
        Bb
And the press paraded pictures
     (nc)
Of a dead Marylin Monroe

Chorus 1:
           Dm
And I will always choose the bear
       C
I will always choose the wolves
   Bb
No matter what they do
              A
They wouldn't blame my clothes

        Dm
I would rather choose to die
       C
Let my body decompose
    Bb
Cuz even when you're ash
          A
They will never let you go

Rift:
  Dm C
No

         Bb     A

Verse 2:
Dm
 Careful of the stranger
  C
A face you've never met
       Bb
You've seen them in your churches
         A
They're sleeping in your beds

    Dm
And history will teach you
          F
They were all such willing wives
      C
Sacagawea was a child
         A
When her body lost its right

Chorus 2:

          A
They will never let you go

Bridge:
Bb
  The waves let them take me
Dm                   C
  The walls let them fall
Bb
  It may not be many
     Dm                  A
But enough to doubt them all

    Bb
And when I tell the beasts
        Dm               C
All the things you would do
     Bb
They would cry as well
    A
And fear you too

They wouldn't blame my clothes

They will never let you go

       Dm
I will always choose the bear
       C
I will always choose the wolves

No matter what they do
              A
They wouldn't blame my clothes

        Dm
