verse 1 
C                  F            C 
The time had come  for a new beginning 
C                       F               C 
The time had come   to leave the past behind 
G                     Am           F              C 
Like I’d done a few times before,  I was looking for the door 
                 G          C 
I was young but feeling pretty tired. 

verse 2 
C                F        C 
The home I’d had somehow felt so cold 
C                    F               C 
The home I’d had was haunted by the past 
G                 Am               F         C 
Struggled to find reasons in that town of 4 seasons 
                    G             C 
What ever I tried didn’t seem to last

G             Am                      F                 C 
Burdened by mistakes I’d made I was troubled like never before 
G                Am               F                    C 
Twists and turns along the way   warning signs I never saw 
G              Am                   F            C 
Did what was right at the time was done for ever more 
G                     Am        F                                   C  G  C 
Thought I need to be far away     if I was honest with myself that day 

verse 3 
C              F             C 
So I travelled as a perfect stranger 
C              F            C 
So I travelled onto other lands 
G                          Am            F              C 
Soon things grew and I prospered there  saw the world without a care 
                          G              C 
And found new friends to lend a helping hand

verse 4 
C                    F       C 
There were many times that come to mind 
C                    F                   C 
There were many times I felt the fire ignite 
G                     Am         F                      C 
Dark outside a London afternoon my guitar was playing brand new tunes 
            G                C 
And inside  I was warm and bright 


[Refrão]
G               Am              F                C 
And no one can touch me now no matter what they say 
G                Am                    F                C 
I’ve made it to higher ground and its here I’m going to stay 
G                 Am          F                 C 
Life was ripe for living an adventure in every way 
G                Am        F                                  C   G   C 
I was glad to be far away   if I was honest with myself that day 

Verse 5 
C                     F              C 
The time has come to head back home again 
C                         F                 C 
And the time has come to see old friends of mine 
G                        Am           F                    C 
They made me welcome no hesitation, life down under was a revelation 
                            G       C 
I’ll go back some day and I’ll be fine
