Key:

Then it goes into an A B E progression. 1 bar A, 1 bar B, two bars E. I play it kind of ska-like because I can't quite get the chunk-a-chunka rhythm from the record. Play the progression twice and then over the verses.
A B E The place I love is a million miles away.
A B E It's too far for the eye to see.
Bm E A F#m Still it's me at least, and you can't come there.
A B E No one is allowed at all.
Bm E A F#m Only animals that love, will always, only ever could be.
A B E And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 4 times)
Continues after the ad
A B E The place I love is overgrown now,
A B E with beautiful moss and colorful flowers.
Bm E A F#m And goldfish that swim in a pool, theres a small brick wall
A B E With neon lightings controlled by lightning.
Bm E I'm makin' a stand against the world
A F#m There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A B E And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 4 times)
A B E The place I love is nowhere near here.
A B E Not within a yard of the trendy do's
Bm E A F#m Where dogsbodies pick you up, and graciously give you a lift
A B E with cherished thoughts and bitterness.
Bm E I'm makin' a stand against the world
A F#m There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A B E And it's always in the back of my mind. (riff 2 times)
Bm E I'm makin' a stand against the world
A F#m There's those that would hurt us if they heard.
A B E And it's always in the back of my mind.
