D A6/C# Bm
take me to the lake side
Em A
place me among the trees that hide
D G
from the dust and from the old
C F# Bm
by the river and by the oak
D A6/C# Bm
will there be a bowl of soap
Em A
like the songs we were told
D G
will there be a boat
C F# Bm
that will take me to the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Bm
because I'm on my way to somewhere
D A Bm
I'm on my way to something
D A G
but I'll meet you when you get there
[Chorus]
Em D A D A
I wish could stay my friend
G Em D A D A
I wish could stay my friend
G Em D A D A
I wish could stay my friend
G Em D A D A
I wish could stay my friend
G Em D A D A G
I wish could stay
[Verse 2]
D A6/C# Bm
sunday call and after all
Em A
a prayer would only make me blush
D G
but thanks for letting us
C F# Bm A6/C# D D#dim7
who do I thank for another day?
D A
a prayer would only make me blush
D G
but thanks for letting us
C F# Bm
who do I thank for another day?
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Bm
because I'm on my way to somewhere
D A Bm
I'm on my way to something
D A G
but I'll meet you when you get there
[Chorus]
