[Verse 1]
G Am Em D
I know a place we could go
G Am Em D
I know a place where there aren’t any roads
G Am Em
Where the grass is always greener
D
And doesn’t scratch your fingers
G Am Em D
I know a place

[Verse 2]
G Am Em
So come with me dear
D G
The halogen hum hurts my ears
Am
Swim in the spring
Em D
We could be free

[Chorus]
C D Em
‘Cause I know a place we could go
C D Em
No one has been there, and no one will know
C D Em
There it is quiet, forget the violence
C D Em
You’ve tried so hard to ignore
C D Em
Oh, I know a place we could go
C D Em
Unpack our bags and we’ll call it a home
C D Em
The sea will sing our minds to sleep
C D Em D
I know a place we could go

[Verse 3]
G Am Em D
And once we get there we could stay
G Am Em D
An old shaky house, our lives would be made
G Am
And I don’t know all the answers
Em D
But you look like December
G Am Em D
There we could stay

[Verse 4]
G Am
I’m tired of fear
Em D
Grasping for safe, familiar
G Am Em D
You are like me, oh, could we leave?

[Chorus]
C D Em
‘Cause I know a place we could go
C D Em
Far from the highways, far from that home
C D Em
Seep in the silence, safe in our minds that
C D Em
We try so hard to control
C D Em
Oh, I know a place we could go
C D Em
No one will notice once we are gone
C D Em
Up in the trees, laugh on the beach
C D Em D
I know a place we could go

[Bridge]
G Am Em D
Can we go home? x4

[Chorus]
C D Em
‘Cause I know a place we could go
C D Em
Deep in the forest, out of the storm
C D Em
Our souls could be freed of the disease
C D Em
That everyone tried to destroy
C D Em
Oh, I know a place we could go
C D Em
No one has been there and no one will know
C D Em
The sea will sing our minds to sleep
C D Em D
I know a place we could go
D G
Can we go home?
