Intro: Bm A D Bm A D

Verse:
    Bm            A            D
I'd walk down the street to my Grandma's house
       Bm         A             D
It was just a few doors from my own
    Bm         A             D
Her roses were dead, but the lights were still on
     Bm         A           D
So I let myself in from the cold
    Bm          A               D
I'd take off my shoes cause she hated the dirt
        Bm         A                 D
And I'd try not to curse while she's home
    Bm           A          D
The smell of the Dettol and oxtail soup
          Bm             A           D
She said "Boy, you don't fit in your clothes"

Chorus:
G D
Amen
        Bm        A       D
We said prayers before we ate
        G D
My safe haven
        Bm         A         D
Take me back to my Grandma's place

Verse 2:
      Bm          A          D
I was seven years old when I learnt how to cook
    Bm         A          D
And ten when I started to sing
         Bm          A
Oh she'd bring me to church
          D
And she'd cover my ears
        Bm               A        D
When my dad would scream horrible things
        Bm         A              D
And I'd lay on the couch with the plastic wrap
       Bm          A    D
God forbid I spill my J2O
      Bm          A          D
She'd read me the Bible, I'd stare at the clock
        Bm               A          D
And ask Grandma, "When's Mum coming home?"

Chorus 2:
G D
Amen
       Bm             A          D
We say prayers at the end of the day
        G D
My safe haven
       Bm         A         D
Can we go back to Grandma's place

Interlude: G Bm A D

Verse 3:
    Bm            A                D
Oh, fifteen years passed, how'd we fall out of touch?
     Bm            A          D
So I called to see if you're okay
   Bm          A          D
It rang and it rang and I finally gave up
        Bm       A            D
Now I'm paying a lot for that shame
    Bm         A              D
Oh, Aunt Jenny told me you're reaching the end
        Bm          A             D
And the blood isn't reaching your heart
        Bm      A           D
And the funeral came in the blink of an eye
      Bm          A          D
Oh, I feel like a boy in the dark

Chorus 3:
G D
Amen
    Bm            A            D
I pray that the memories won't fade
        G D
My safe haven
      Bm         A         D
Can I go back to Grandma's place
      G D
I say Amen
    Bm            A            D
I pray that the memories won't fade
        G D
My safe haven
      Bm         A         D
Can I go back to Grandma's place
      Bm         A         D
Can I go back to Grandma's place
      Bm         A         D
Can I go back to Grandma's place
