[INTRO]
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [Am] [D] [C]
[VERSE]
I [G]knew this place, I [D]knew it well, [C]every sound, and [G]every smell,
[C]And every time I [G]walked I fell, for the [Am]first two years or [D]so.
[G]There across the [D]grassy yard, [C]I, a young boy [G]runnin' hard,
[C]Brown and bruised and [G]battle scared, and [Am]lost in [D]sweet il[G]lusion.
[VERSE]
From my window [D]I can see, the [C]fingers of an [G]ancient tree,
[C]Reaching out it [G]calls to me, to [Am]climb its surly [D]branches.
But [G]all my climbing [D]days are gone, and these [C]tired legs, I'm [G]standin' on,
Would [C]scarcely dare to [G]leave the spot, up[Am]on which [D]they are [G]standin'.
[REFRAIN]
[D]I remember every word, [C]from every voice [G]I ever heard,
[C]Every frog and [G]every bird, yes [C]this is where it starts.[D]
A [G]brother's laugh, the [D]sighing wind, [C]this is where my [G]life begins,
[C]This is where I [G]learned to use, my [Am]hands and [D]hear my [G]heart.
[INTERLUDE]
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [Am] [D] [G]
This house is old, it [D]carries on, like [C]lyrics, to an [G]old time song,
[C]Always changed, but [G]never gone, this [Am]house, will stand the [D]seasons.
And our [G]lives pass on from [D]door to door, [C]dust across the [G]wooden floor,
[C]And feather rain, and [G]thunder roar, we [Am]need not [D]know the [G]reason.
[REFRAIN]
And [D]all these thoughts come back to me, like [C]ships across a [G]friendly sea,
Like [C]breezes blowing [G]endlessly, like [Am]rivers running [D]deep.
The [G]day is done, the [D]lights are low, and the [C]wheels of life are t[G]urning slow,
And [C]as these visions, [G]turn and go, I [Am]lay me [D]down to [G]sleep.

[C]And every time I [G]walked I fell, for the [Am]first two years or [D]so.
