Standard (EADGBE)

Take me somewhere nice.

To some tired island,

In your heart,

 Called Paradise.

Though we wander home

 We both feel alone

Like escapees

 With no where to go.

I can think of

 A thousand ways.

To get good and lost

 Beyond these hopeless days..

Where we'll rendezvous

 Out of the blue

And take a deep breath

Just we two

And we'll be so far gone

 The oars will row on

 And we will happily wave..

 So long..

If we hook a dream

And it tows it back down

 This open stream

 We'll say hello

 Oh, Oh

 Take us wherever you go.

Chorus

Take me somewhere deep.

'Cause i'm quite exhausted

 And I need to sleep

Or climb the great divide

 Or wake up beside myself

 Just to know I'm alive.

Every waded route

 Pays me a visit

 And drags my eyelids down.

 They sting like growing pains

 Iced in the veins of a guy

 Who's not ready to die

If I may be so bold

 I'll weather the cold.

 'Cause I'm not afraid to grow old..

If we hook a dream

And it tows it back down

 This open stream

 We'll say hello

 Oh, Oh

 Take us wherever you go.

Chorus
