If  we were kids again
 we'd hang  out almost everyday
 Running through woods  at dawn
 finding the magic  in things
 You'd help me up  the tree
 holding me up  to the top  of the branches
 Open your book  to read
 the story that felt  like we were  already in
 Where you're  the king  of the apple trees
 In the  orchard where  I'd come to eat
Where  we'd pull the wings  off bees
 To build a bed  in the top  of the barn
 Humming through grass  we'd sing
 out in the fields  with the wind  in our ears
 Where nights  are long  and in the day
 you'd paint  and I'd write about outer space
 Where I'm  the queen  of the creek
 and the  banks where  you come to drink
Swimming  through birch  and bark
 tell you my secrets  of how  I can fly
 And I'll show you how  tonight
 over bread  and some white  wine on ice
 And I'll draw  a bath  and we'll cram in
 And we'll write  this story  as we begin
 And on the bus we're still living
 in the pages  of our book  that we have written
 And as if  the wheels  have turned to wings
 Traveled back  to our world  filled with birch trees  & broken barns

[G]If we were k[C]ids [Cm7]again  [G]
we'd h[C]ang out almost [Cm7]everyday  [G]
Running through [C]woods at [Cm7]dawn   [G]
finding the m[C]agic in t[Cm7]hings   [G]

You'd help me [C]up the [Cm7]tree   [G]
holding me [C]up to the [Cm7]top of the br[G]anches
Open your [C]book to [Cm7]read    [G]
the story that f[C]elt like we [Cm7]were already [E]in

Where [C]you're the [G]king of the apple [D]trees
[E]   In [C]the orchard [G]where I'd come to [D]eat

[G]Where we'd pull the [C]wings off [Cm7]bees    [G]
To build a [C]bed in the [Cm7]top of the b[G]arn
Humming through [C]grass we'd [Cm7]sing     [G]
out in the f[C]ields with the [Cm7]wind in our e[E]ars

Where [C]nights are l[G]ong and in the [D]day
[E]   you'd p[C]aint and I'd write about outer space
[E]   Where [C]I'm the q[G]ueen of the c[D]reek
[E]   and th[C]e banks wh[G]ere you come to [D]drink

[G]Swimming through b[C]irch and b[Cm7]ark     [G]
tell you my s[C]ecrets of h[Cm7]ow I can f[G]ly
And I'll show you h[C]ow ton[Cm7]ight      [G]
over br[C]ead and some wh[Cm7]ite wine on [E]ice
And I'll d[C]raw a b[G]ath and we'll cram [D]in
[E]    And we'll [C]write this st[G]ory as we be[D]gin

And on the bus we're still living
[E]    in the p[C]ages of our b[G]ook that we have wr[D]itten
[E]    And as [C]if the wh[G]eels have turned to w[D]ings
[E]    Traveled b[C]ack to our w[G]orld filled with birch tr[D]ees & broken barns
