Secret Places chords by Casey Neill

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    G            G           C               G
The light on the campfire is seen across the fields
      G    D            G          G
As we sit,   talking of childhood
     G           G         C          G
Warm wine in the cup & the stories of friends
       G              D                G          G
All we know right now, is that this is good
      C       C            D       D
& the outside world cannot come in here
    C      C      D      D
Our hallow   safe place
G             G            C         G
Safe from the blades & the cold bayonets
      G       D          G         G
& the sunken,      angry faces

Chorus:
     D    D         G      G
Hey hey,    we can play
            C       C        D         D
Through the backyards of our innocence
    G             G            C            G
The sandbox & the swings & the ladder & the slide
           G       D                  G       G
The secret places,   where we used to hide


Verse 2:
 G            G                  C             G
Laughter old friend it's good to see your face again
          G        D                  G          G
It's been so long, since I heard your voice
     G           G           C            G
Sometimes we forget when the grey gets us down
       G       D                 G          G
We are young .    & still have a choice
      C       C          D          D
& the serious scenes & responsibilities
             C          C              D      D
weigh on our mind, till we are walking dead
       G             G               C         G
but to joy I raise a glass & let the time roll past
         G                D                 G         G
all that matters is where together here you said


Chorus:
     D    D         G      G
Hey hey,    we can play
            C       C        D         D
Through the backyards of our innocence
    G             G            C            G
The sandbox & the swings & the ladder & the slide
           G       D                  G       G
The secret places,   where we used to hide


Verse 3:
      G            G            C         G
As we share in remembrance of a lighter hour
    G    D               G          G
We bring, the playground back
        G              G              C            G
All the romping & the whistling & the crying & the kissing
       G           D           G          G
& our whole lives,    inside a backpack
C                 C           D           D
Going through the boxes & the rooms of my mind
 C              C              D      D
Digging out the cobwebs on the wall
      G           G            C          G
O the bittersweet taste of the man I have become
G       D                G         G
Fades      & a young boy calls


Chorus:
     D    D         G      G
Hey hey,    we can play
            C       C        D         D
Through the backyards of our innocence
    G             G            C            G
The sandbox & the swings & the ladder & the slide
           G       D                  G       G
The secret places,   where we used to hide
           G       D                  G
The secret places,   where we used to hide
