Version 1
[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend,
Em
All the fruit's on the ground, the birds have all moved back into my attic,
D
Whistled in static, young learn to fly, I will patch up the holes once again,
D
Well, I can't believe that my lime tree is dead,
Em
I thought it was sleeping, I guess it got fed up with not being fed,
D
I would be, too, I keep food in my belly and hope that my time isn't soon (Isn't soon)
[Chorus]
D Em
So I try to understand, what I can't hold in my hand,
G A D
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you,
D
And if you could try to find it too, cause this
Em
Place is overgrown, it's a waxin' moon,
G A D
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
[Verse]
D
Back of my house, there's a trail that won’t end,
We went walking so far that it grew back in
Em
And there's no trail at all, only grass growing tall,
D
Get out my machete, and battle with time once again,
Em D
But I'm bound to lose cause I’ll be damned if time don’t win
D
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend,
All the seeds from the fruit buried and begin their
Em
Own family trees, teach them thank you and please,
D
Spread their own roots, then watch the young fruit grow again,
Em D
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins,
[Chorus]
D Em
So I try to understand, what I can't hold in my hand, and
G A D
whatever I find I'll find my way back to you,
D
And if you could try to find it too, cause this
Em
Place is overgrown, it's a waxin' moon,
G A D
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
G A D
Said home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
G A D
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
