Bb C F
[Verse 1]
F Dm Am Dm
Ooh, I wanna be in the picture on the postcard
Am Dm Bb C
Pouring pitchers in the backyard by the garden we tend
F Dm Am Dm
Ooh, I wanna be where the crickets chirp for me
Am Dm
Frogs that fractal at my feet
Bb F
By a dirt road dead end
Bb C
Where the matches burn like candles, no locks on the door
F Am Dm
We can blow the seeds of dandelions, wish for nothing more
Bb C
Where the sunrise comes early, but the night’s still very long
F Am Dm
And the constellations mirror glistening dewdrops on the lawn
Bb Bbm C
I feel the grass between my toes already
[Chorus]
F Dm Am Dm Bb C F
Ooh, I wanna be, in a place I can call a place to get away from it all
[Instrumental]
F Dm Am Dm
Bb C F
[Verse 2]
F Dm Am Dm
Ooh I wanna be, in an autumn pastel landscape
Am Dm Bb C
An odd, attractive escape out two miles from downtown
F Dm Am Dm
Ooh I wanna be, where it’s always apple season
Am Dm C F
Underneath the dancing trees where we know up is down
Bb C
Where the television’s broken and the campfire’s smoking
F Am Dm
And we’re hopeful for tomorrow cause we know we had today
Bb C
We’re laughing and we’re joking with no criticism spoken
F Am Dm
If the clouds come out and drown the town we’ll still go out and play
Bb Bbm C
I can feel the hands to hold already
[Chorus]
F Dm Am Dm Bb C F
Ooh, I wanna be, in a place I can call a place to get away from it all
[Instrumental]
F Dm Am Dm
Bb C F
[Bridge]
F A Dm Bbm
Well, I know the day is far away, and if it comes it will not stay
F Bb C
But I can’t chase the flavor from my mind
F A Dm Bbm
Well this is my lysergide daydream. It’s not a plan, not half a scheme
F Bb C
To find that place to bathe my two bare tired and worn out feet
[Chorus]
F Dm Am Dm Bb C F C
No, I don't believe there's a place I can call a place to get away from it all
F Dm Am Dm Bb C
No, I don't believe there's a place I can call a place to get away from it
[Outro]
F Dm Am Dm
