Bm A D
[Verse 1]
D G D
There's a place that I once heard about
D G D
In a story that was read to me out loud
D G A D
A land of make believe or so it seemed
Bm A D
And it took me to a place of hopes and dreams
D G D
My mother said to me when I turned 18
D G D
"There's a ship and it's sailing across the sea
D G A D
Just promise me boy you'll write me every day
Bm A D
Now leave before my mind changes"
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm Asus4
Turn my back to my homeland
G D
Throw a coin over my shoulder
G
I hear the water break
G
May good luck come my way
[Chorus]
D G D
How long does take to get to Rome?
D G A
When you're standing on the other side of the globe
Bm A G D
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
D G D
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
D G D
Bm A D
[Verse 2]
D G D
I'm singing tunes in the Chorus cafe
D G D
24 years to the day I have been awake
D G A D
My feet are standing still on foreign ground
Bm A D
There's no map to show you this side of town
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm Asus4
Turned my back to my homeland
G D
Never looked over my shoulder
G
I heard my mother say
N.C.
"You've lost something along the way"
[Chorus]
D G D
How long does take to get to Rome?

When you're standing on the other side of the globe

Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
