[Verse 1]
   G        Am           C
It helps me forget for a moment
   G              Am             C       Em/B
To kneel down and drink from the lake
   G         Am            C
It helps me forget for an instant
   G                Am          C
To build a fire and swallow the flame
   G          Am            C
It makes me believe for an evening
   G                     Am
That the child inside of me
              C
Remembers its name
  G         Am          C
I wake up a mess in the morning
                  G
I swear I’ll pay whatever it costs
   Am             C
To forget it all again

[Chorus]
Am D
Oh
G           G/F#         C
Help me get back to that place
Em/B           Am
Where I can be something else
D
A bird song on the breeze
         G            G/F# C
When the daydream was far away
Em/B      Am
How did I get here?
D
How did I get here?
               G         G/F#     C
And how in the hell am I going to escape?

[Verse 2]
   G        Am           C
It helps me forget for a second
   G              Am             C
To lay down and cover my face
   G              Am             C
Or prance around the house dancing naked
   G              Am             C
Listening to all the old songs we used to play
   G              Am             C
It makes me convinced I’m just changing
               G                      Am               C
That some day soon I’m gonna wake up strong, bold, and brave
     G               Am            C
But I can’t help but feel I’m just broken
G Am C Em/B


[Chorus]
Am D
Oh
G           G/F#         C
Help me get back to that place
Em/B           Am
Where I can be something else
D
A bird song on the breeze
         G            G/F# C
When the daydream was far away
Em/B      Am
How did I get here?
D
How did I get here?
               G         G/F#     C        Em/B
And how in the hell am I going to escape?

[Outro]
Am D
G          G/F#          C
Help me get back to that place
Em/B           D
Where I can be something else
