[Intro] Bm A Bm Bm A Bm/G F# [Verse 1]
A  Bm                                  A       Bm
 A long time ago, in a land very far away from here,

                                             A      Bm
our father told us: we're moving to a brand new frontier!

                                    A
One week later, we boarded the plane

       Bm
to the city of Naples!

N.C.                   A Bm
In the state of Maine.

                                             A     Bm
Population of three-thousand two-hundred and fifty-three,
a wonderful place!
                       A Bm
I'd politely disagree.

                                  A        Bm
Our dad told us he had a huge project underway,

                   N.C.         A Bm
and then he opened Camp Faraway.

                                    A    Bm
He put up billboards all across the town

                                     A    Bm
hoping that somehow word would get around.

                                        A   Bm
He wanted fame, blah blah, long story aside,
N.C. no one came! And then he died.
                                A      Bm
It was up to us to continue the family line,

                                        A    Bm
so we fixed things up, did a little redesign.

                                        A Bm
And now we're here, and everyone agrees,
N.C. you should sign your kid up! Please. [Pre-Chorus]
Bm         A             G
 And we're your counselors,

   F#m
Kayla and Ben.

Bm      A            G          F#m
 We saw a flyer advertising the job, and then

Bm         A                  G                 F#m
 they told us we wouldn't get paid, but that's okay!

Bm           A             F#m G    A
 'Cause it's Camp Faraway's opening day!
[Chorus]
D                    A
Way out here, hidden under the skies,

    Bm                          G
the rivers have secrets and the tall pines rise.

D                A
Far from luxury, far from control,

          Bm      A  F#m    G
but we're finding pieces of our soul.

D                      A
Way out here, nature's calling the shots.

   Bm                           G
No filters, no phones, just the sound of your thoughts.

     D                       A
Step into the wild, leave it all at the door.

          Bm    A   F#m  G              A Bm
There's a world out here to be explored.
[Verse 2]
                                      A     Bm
My name's Alice, sent from across the ocean.

                                            A       Bm
I love my life, but my parents say I "lack emotion?"

                                       A    Bm
"Loosen up," they said, "try something new."

                        N.C.                   A Bm
So they sent me way out here to see what I can do.

                                            A Bm
"A breath of fresh air," "somewhere bright!"

                                           A Bm
Just an excuse to get me out of their life.

                                                A  Bm
Life's been pretty simple, living day by day by day.

                             N.C.               A  Bm
Said I should "wake up," and not waste my life away?

                                     A   Bm
Youngest of seven, always one step behind.

                                   A     Bm
But here I am, sent to "make up my mind."

                                            A     Bm
"Ground yourself," they say, "don't aim too high."
N.C. Telling me dreams aren't meant to fly.
Bm     A/C#     D
 So now I'm here, to be "toughened up."

F#m     Bm7                    G           A
 To let nature shape what they think isn't tough enough.

Bm         A/C#       D
 They sent me here to find something true.

Bm7         G                       A
In the hope that I'd be "more" when this week is through.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm      A      G
Welcome to Faraway,

           F#m
you can be redefined.

Bm     A               G              F#m
 Leave the labels, the roles, and the scripts behind.

Bm      A                     G          F#m
 Forget it all, 'cause at the end of the day,

Bm      A               F#m    G         A
 it's never too late to change what they say!
[Chorus]
D                    A
Way out here, hidden under the skies,

    Bm                          G
the rivers have secrets and the tall pines rise.

D                A
Far from luxury, far from control,

          Bm      A  F#m    G
but we're finding pieces of our soul.

D                      A
Way out here, nature's calling the shots.

   Bm                           G
No filters, no phones, just the sound of your thoughts.

     D                       A
Step into the wild, leave it all at the door.

          Bm    A                       D A/C# Bm A G A D
There's a world out here to be explored.
