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                
    The place I love is a million 
 E
miles away.
A             B                    E
    It's too far for the eye to see.
Bm              E           A   
    Still it's me at least,   
             F#m
and you can't come there.
A           B             E
    No one is allowed at all.
Bm        E                       
    Only animals that love, will  
 A         F#m
 always, only ever could be.
A               B                
    And  it's always in the back 
        E
of my mind.

    The place I love is overgrown 
 E
now,
A                  B             
    with beautiful moss and 
    E
colorful flowers.
Bm               E             A
    And goldfish that swim in a 
           F#m
pool,   theres a small brick wall
A                B               
    With neon lightings 
     E
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                  
    And it's always in the back

A                B
