Intro: Finger pick Am G F Em


I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine. 
I got a love, and I know that it's all mine. 
Oh. 

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me. 
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me. 
No. 

Take me away: A secret place. 
A sweet escape: Take me away. 

Take me away to better days. 
Take me away: A higher place.

There's a place that I go, 
But nobody knows. 
Where the rivers flow, 
And I call it home. 

And there's no more lies. 
In the darkness, there's light. 
And nobody cries. 
There's only butterflies.

The sun is on my side. 
Take me for a ride. 
I smile up to the sky. 
I know I'll be all right.
