I’ve been busy doing all the things they told me to
E F C G
And I’ve realised there’s always something more to do.
Am E
I don’t want to be caught in this modern-day haste
E F C G
I feel time spent on these things is nothing but a waste.
Am G
So forgive me if one day
F C G
I go somewhere far to be free.
Am G
Close to mountains and rivers,
F G C
That’s where I wanna be.
Am E
We think that we know everything all the time
E F C G
Although we can never see through all the subtle lies.
Am E
We are promised all these things that should bring us happiness,
E F C G
Yet someday we will discover it was all a myth.
F G
A place by the lake,
C G F
Near the forest and the blue sky -
F G C
The place where I was meant to be.
