CI had never seen the Emsnow

To build a fortress in the trGeesC/G  
CI'd ride my bEmicycle
AmDown the lane and back again
Fmaj7Talking to the biCrds
And my imaginary frieGndsC/G  
CAnd I'd want to run Emaway

I had never seen the snow

Never sailed upon the seas

I was busy making plans

To build a fortress in the trees

I'd ride my bicycle

Down the lane and back again

Talking to the birds

And my imaginary friends

And I'd want to run away

Go as far as I could see

But I'd always turn around

To find familiarity

Right where it should be

Oh, my love

Is there hope for yesterday?

And it's taking me away

I am moving on

I do not know where I will go

Fmaj7 C

But I'm beckoned by the sky

G C/G

In the river down below

C Em

I've only got one pair of shoes

Comforting these weary feet

Cause a man who owns too much

Is like a song without a beat

Left feeling incomplete
