Go Back

          G
in the traps
                C            G        D
where we lived our simple lives
                           C
kept our blinders on
                      G  D
eyes to the horizon


  D
i know,
                              C
i’m no doctor but i know
       G            D       C
you can’t live in the past
            C     G        C           D     G
but the only way to go is to go back


          C        G           D
and return to who we were
                               C
before we disappeared
                                 G   D
into the thick of big ideas
       G
and now
            C                G       D
we can see the sweeping view
                        C
waiting out the storm
                         G      D
stuck under the awning


  D
i know,
                              C
i’m no doctor but i know
       G            D       C
you can’t live in the past
            C     G        C           D     G
but the only way to go is to go back


C
into everglades
                       G
greener yesterday
                              D
skip the stones away
C
go back to the start
                         G
photos in the dark
                                 D
bloom before they fade


      C       G       D
so we hold to who we are
                    C
even into the yard
                    G   D
beyond our furthest day dreams
     G
to a world
        C             G         D
full of strange and towering skies
                        C
the chance to choose in time
                  G   D
to set out on our own way


  D
i know,
                              C
i’m no doctor but i know
D               C
no doctor but i know
       G            D       C
you can’t live in the past
            C     G        C           D     G
but the only way to go is to go back
