[Bb] Ahh-ahh-[D]ahh

[Bb] Ahh-ahh-[D]ahh
[A]Ahh[A/C#]h (here we go)

[VERSE 1]

[D]I'll just close my eyes, I'll just catch my breath
This is the [A]only place to [D]be
[D]I've got lots of time, my whole life ahead
This is the [A]only place to [D]be

[CHORUS 1]

It's an[Bb] , earth-like [D]world
[Bb] It's cold and [D]real
[Bb] With a sun-like [D]star
I can [A]fee[A/C#]l

[VERSE 2]

[D]I am for the wolf, pitch-black and yellow eyes
This is the [A]only place to [D]be
For [D]the raven arriving first to get my eyes
This is the [A]only place to [D]be

And [D]I'm for the poor sun, always against the mindless night
This is the [A]only place to [D]be
And [D]I'm for the wind, in the pale blue sky
This is the [A]only place to [D]be

[CHORUS 2]

On this[Bb] , earth-like [D]world
[Bb] It's cold and [D]real
[Bb] With a sun-like [D]star
You can [A]fee[A/C#]l

[VERSE 3]

[D]I'll just close my eyes, I'll just catch my breath
This is the [A]only place to [D]be
