A#                 F/A
I walked across an empty land
Cm                         Fsus4        F
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
A#                 F/A
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Cm                      Fsus4       F
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Gm                 Dm
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
D#                            C            F
I'm getting tired and I need someone to rely on

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on

Chorus:
Cm                 Dm
And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Cm             Dm
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
Cm                Dm
This could be the end of everything
D#                  F                 D#
So why don't we go somewhere only we know
F                  D#
Somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need someone to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

Chorus:
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
'Cause this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
