[Intro]

G  Bm  Am  D 
 
[Verse 1]
G               Bm
I walked across an empty land
Am                     
I knew the pathway like 
    C          D
the back of my hand
G                Bm
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Am               
Sat by the river, 
       C          D
and it made me complete
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em               
Oh, simple thing,
Bm
Where have you gone?
Am                       
I'm getting old and I need 
C              D
something to rely on
Em              Bm
So tell me when you're 

gonna let me in
Am                  
I'm getting tired and 
       C              D
I need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Verse 2]
G               Bm
I came across a fallen tree
Am                     
I felt the branches of it 
C          D
looking at me
G                 Bm
Is this the place we 

used to love?
Am                      
Is this the place that 
          C        D
I've been dreaming of?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em              
Oh, simple thing,
Bm
Where have you gone?
Am                   
I'm getting old and 
       C              D
I need something to rely on
Em              Bm
So tell me when you're 

gonna let me in
Am                   
I'm getting tired and 
       C              D
I need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 G   
And if you have a minute, 
          D
why don't we go
C             G        
Talk about it somewhere 
     D
only we know?
C            
This could be 
    G           D
the end of everything
Am
So why don't we go
Bm                     Am
Somewhere only we know?
  Bm                   Am    D
Somewhere only we know?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em             
Oh, simple thing, 
Bm
where have you gone?
Am                  
I'm getting old and 
       C              D
I need something to rely on
Em              Bm
So tell me when you're 

gonna let me in
Am                    
I'm getting tired and 
       C              D
I need somewhere to begin
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 G     
And if you have a minute, 
          D
why don't we go
C             G       
Talk about it somewhere 
     D
only we know?
C                 G    
This could be the end of 
     D
everything
Am
So why don't we go?
              Bm
So why don't we go?
 
Ooh, aah over 

[Instrumental]
Am  G  D  
Am  G  D 
 
 
[Outro]
Am           
This could be 
    G           D
the end of everything
Am
So why don't we go
Bm             G       Am
Somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know
Bm             Am    G
