Above a groBmund that's solid at the cGoreD

Of my crooked smile and my crowded teeth

To live happily, feeling beautiful beneath the trees

Above a ground that's solid at the core

D Bm D

Oh please, don't make fun of me

Bm D G

Oh you know I get frightened so easily

D Bm G D D

When I'm all alone and the floorboards creak

G D

It's those noises in the dark

To live fearlessly, running wild beneath the trees

Above a ground that's solid at the core

[RIFF]

Send my regards to the north my friends

When nobody wants to hear it

We're all looking for something to adore

D G D

And how to survive the bending and breaking

D D G D

D Bm D

I've walked on two legs since I was a chil

But when did I realize that some ways out

D Bm D D

Past the horizon for thousands of miles

There are people like me, walking on legs like mine?

(emphatic dramatic strums)

Hoping good comes from good

Oh please, don't make fun of me

Bm Bm D

With my heart of gold

Bm D

And my restless soul

(gently)

D Bm D

Oh please, don't make fun of me

This smile happens genuinely

D G D D G

If you want to see the world, you have to say goodbye

Bm G D

Cause a map does no good hanging on a wall
