Repeat intro section twice [Verse 1]
D
It caught me off guard
Tears were streaming, my eyes were teaming
     G  D/F# Em          A
With all of nostalgia's lies

D
It emptied my heart
All the weight dropped out my stomach
     G  D/F# Em       A
With all my defences down
[Chorus]
Em7            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#
Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow

Em7            Asus4
I was, Spinning and laughing

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

Asus4
Oh
D Dsus2 [Verse 2]
D
These streets break my heart
There is pain unfurling ans 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]
Em7            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#
Left the violet mark on the oak tree hollow

Em7            Asus4
I was, 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, heady summer

     Em7      D/F#     G     D
With arms open wide

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

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

        Em7      D/F#     G     D
I'll accept the path that lays before my eyes
D Dsus2 x2 [Pre-Chorus]
G  D/F# Em       A
All my defences down
[Chorus]
Em7            Asus4
What is this place?

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

Where I feel safe?

         D/F#     D              G       D/F#
Down the violet path and the oak tree hollow

Em7            Asus4
I was, Spinning and laughing

       D/F#   D       G       D/F#    Em7    Asus2
Was it ever what I thought it truly was?
