  E                 C             D             CI thought I heard a sound, of the speech on the wind.
   E               C       D            CThe smoulder of the smoke, hanging just above.
        E          C                  D             CAnd the darkest of thoughts, have the time to gather round.
   E              C             D             CAs gentle was the word, and the speech on the sound.


Chorus:
G              D                      G         D        EThere's a place that's travelled far, always with you in your thoughts.

G                   D             G               D          EIt's where your safe underground, waiting for the world with your song.



         E            C           D                 CAnd the colour of her hair, as it glides across her face.
     E          C              D                CAll thoughts of despair, never seemed so out of place.
       E      C               D     CAnd it seems familiar, as the world echoes.
      E           C              D       CYeah, thinking of her, where you ought'a go.


Chorus:
G              D                      G         D        EThere's a place that's travelled far, always with you in your thoughts.

G                   D             G               D          EIt's where your safe underground, waiting for the world with your song.


Bridge:
G                    EStranded fish out of water,
G                             EStruggling with all that they taught you.

E            C      D              CSiren of the state, after beaching down.
E            C      D                CNotice every word, have to touch the ground.
    E            C        D          CYou lift up your face, to every possibility.
             E         C            D            C'Cause there has to be grace, as we journey that way.
