G Am C Em/B
G Am C
[Verse 1]
G Am C
It helps me forget for a moment
G Am C Em/B
To kneel down and drink from the lake
G Am C
It helps me forget for an instant
G Am C
To build a fire and swallow the flame
G Am C
It makes me believe for an evening
G Am
That the child inside of me
C
Remembers its name
G Am C
I wake up a mess in the morning
G
I swear I’ll pay whatever it costs
Am C
To forget it all again
[Chorus]
Am D
Oh
G G/F# C
Help me get back to that place
Em/B Am
Where I can be something else
D
A bird song on the breeze
G G/F# C
When the daydream was far away
Em/B Am
How did I get here?
D
How did I get here?
G G/F# C
And how in the hell am I going to escape?
C C Csus2
[Verse 2]
G Am C
It helps me forget for a second
G Am C
To lay down and cover my face
G Am C
Or prance around the house dancing naked
G Am C
Listening to all the old songs we used to play
G Am C
It makes me convinced I’m just changing
G Am C
That some day soon I’m gonna wake up strong, bold, and brave
G Am C
But I can’t help but feel I’m just broken
G Am C Em/B
[Chorus]
Am D
Oh
G G/F# C
Help me get back to that place
Em/B Am
Where I can be something else
D
A bird song on the breeze
G G/F# C
When the daydream was far away
Em/B Am
How did I get here?
D
How did I get here?
G G/F# C Em/B
And how in the hell am I going to escape?
[Outro]
Am D
G G/F# C
Help me get back to that place
Em/B D
Where I can be something else
