[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][Dm][Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
[G][C][F]
[C][Dm][Gsus4][C]

[Verse 1]
It caught me [C]off guard
Tears were streaming,
my eyes were teeming
With [F]all of [C]nos[Dm]talgia'[Gsus4]s lies[C]
It emptied my heart
All the weight dropped out my stomach
With [F]all [C]my de[Dm]fenses down
[Gsus4]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
What is this [Gsus4]place?
[G]Can you [C]take me back
[F]to somewhere [C]darlin'[Dm]
Where I feel [Gsus4]safe?
[G]Down the [C]violet path and
the [F]oak tree [C]hollow
[Dm]Spinning and laugh[Gsus4] ing
[G]Was it [C]ever what [F]I thought it [C]truly
[Dm]was?[Gsus4]
[G]Ohh- ohh- oh

[Interlude 1]
[C][Gsus4]
[C][Gsus4][C]

[Verse 3]
These streets break [C]my heart
There's pain unfurling and
desperate yearning
For [F]all [C]my [Dm]friends who [Gsus4]are gone
[C]Those were the times
where we all had [G]nothing
[C]Most my friends are still against it
For [F]all [C]I've [Dm]gained there's something
lost
[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
What is this [Gsus4]place?
[G]Can you [C]take me back
[F]to somewhere [C]darlin'?[Dm]
These purple [Gsus4]days
[G]Left a [C]violent mark on the [F]oak tree [C]hollow
I [Dm]was, spinning and laugh[G]ing[Gsus4]
[G]Was it [C]ever what I [F]thought it [C]truly
was?
[Dm][Gsus4][G][C]

[Verse 5]
Before I'm pushing up [Bb]daisies[Gm]
[Bb]Give me a long heady[F] summer[Am][F]
With [Am]arms [F]open [Dm]wide[C][F]
[G]I won't tak[Dm]e this wor[C]ld for gra[F]nted
[G]I'll becom[Dm]e what I'v[C]e been ask[F]ing
[G]I'll accep[Dm]t the[C] path that lay[F]s befor[G]e
[C]my [Gsus4]eyes[C][G]
[F]All my [C]defen[Dm]ses dow[Gsus4]n
[G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 6]
[Dm]
What is this [Gsus4]place?
[G]Can you [C]take me back [F]to somewhere
[C]darlin'[Dm]
Where I feel [Gsus4]safe?
[G]Down the [C]violet path and
the [F]oak tree [C]hollow
[Dm]I was, spinning and laugh[Gsus4]ing
[G]Was it [C]ever what I [F]thought it [C]truly was?
