Chords

[Intro] D Dsus2 G D/F# Em A [Verse 1]
D
You caught me off guard
Tears were streaming, my eyes were teaming
     G  D/F# Em          A
With all of nostalgia's lies

D
You'd emptied my heart
All the weight dropped out my stomach
     G  D/F# Em       A
With all my defences down
[Chorus]
Asus4
What is this place?

        D/F#     D      G           D/F#
Can you take me back to somewhere, darling?

Em7           Asus4
Where I feel safe

         D/F#     D              G       D/F#    Em7
Down the violent path from the old tree hollow house

              Asus4
Spinning and laughing

       D/F#   D       G       D/F#    Em7
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?

Asus4
Oh
D [Verse 2]
D
These streets break my heart
There is pain and failure, the desperate yearning
    G  D/F# Em              A
For all my friends who are gone

D
Those were the times where we all had nothing
Most my friends are still against it
     G  D/F# Em                   A
For all I've gained is something lost
[Chorus]
Asus4
What is this place?

    D/F#        D      G           D/F#
Can you take me back to somewhere, darling?

Em7          Asus4
These purple days

       D/F#     D           G       D/F#    Em7
Left a violent mark on the old tree hollow house

             Asus4
Spinning and laughing

       D/F#   D     G        D/F#    Em7
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
Asus4 [Bridge]
D/F#        Cadd9
Before I'm pushing up daisies

           G
Give me a long, hellish summer

     Em7      Asus4
With arms open wide

        D/F#      Em7       G
I won't take this world for granted

     D/F#         Em7      G
I've become what I've been asking

    D          D/F#       G   D/F#    Em7
I'd accept the crown that lays before me
Asus4 [Pre-Chorus]
G  D/F# Em       A
All my defences down
[Chorus]
Asus4
What is this place?

        D/F#     D      G           D/F#
Can you take me back to somewhere, darling?

Em7           Asus4
Where I feel safe

         D/F#     D              G       D/F#    Em7
Down the violent path from the old tree hollow house

              Asus4
Spinning and laughing

       D/F#   D       G       D/F#    Em7
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?

Asus4
Oh
