G
I can bend back
G/F#
And reach the days
G/E G/D
When everything was new
C Bm
When witches were birds that lived in trees
C D
When dreams were movies God made for me
G
I talked to dogs
G/F#
I knew why trees and kids cried
G/E G/D
Why snow was white why people died
C
In show and tell
Bm
I talked about the shapes of clouds
C D
And all the schoolyard angels who protected me
Em C Em C Em
I am here and this is mine
C Bm C D G G/F# G/E G/D
I'm everywhere flying in line
G F#
Always looking for a place to rest
G/E G/D
I hid in trees and buildt my nest
C Bm
I made my nest of buried things
C
And the roots ran like secrets
D
Through six year rings
G G/F#
I found that secret places were better places
G/E G/D
Nicer places that villains could not find
C
I do not lie
Bm
These places are mine
C
Now I lean and bend
D
To where I begin and end
Em C Em C Em
I am here and this is mine
C Bm C D
I'm everywhere flying in line
Em C Em C Em
I am here and this is mine
C Bm C D G
I'm everywhere flying in line
