It is the saddest day
A E
When ya find you're alone
G#m E
Well, that's why I'm here with you
A E
See, I got no place to go
B E
Yeah, the truth is I feel safe here
A E
The most comforting place that I know
G#m E
It's still the saddest day
A E
When you say this is not my home
[Chorus]
B E A E
I wanna take you to Overlee

In a blue world floating endlessly

Where there's no language and there's no country

G#m E
Now, I return to your place
A E
Knocking trying to get in
G#m E
And your roommate opens the door
A E
And says "Why are you back here again?"
B E
I put my things down in the hall
A E
Quietly enter your room
G#m E
You're sound asleep with the cats
A E
As I climb back in bed with you
[Chorus]
B E A E
I wanna take you to Overlee
B E A E
In a blue world floating endlessly
F#m G#m A E
Where there's no language and there's no country
B E A E
I wanna take you to Overlee
A E
And we could swim around and round and round (in the blue)
A E
And we could swim around and round and round (in the blue)
A E
And we could swim and swim until we drowned (in the blue)
A E
We could swim (we could swim) around and round and round
