[Verse 1]
C G F
There is a town in north Ontario,
C G F
With dream comfort memory to spare,
C G F
and in my mind, I still need a place to go,
C G F
All my changes were there,
[Pre-Chorus]
C G F
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
C G F
Yellow moon on the rise,
C G F
Big birds flying across the sky,
C G F
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
[Chorus]
Leave us
C G F
Helpless, helpless, helpless
C G F
Baby can you hear me now?
C G F
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
C G F
Baby, sing with me some how.
