Verse:
I'd [Bm]walk down the [A]street to my [D]Grandma's house
It was [Bm]just a few [A]doors from my [D]own
Her [Bm]roses were [A]dead, but the [D]lights were still on
So I [Bm]let myself [A]in from the [D]cold
I'd [Bm]take off my [A]shoes cause she [D]hated the dirt
And I'd [Bm]try not to [A]curse while she's [D]home
The [Bm]smell of the [A]Dettol and [D]oxtail soup
She said "[Bm]"Boy, you don't [A]fit in your [D]clothes"

We said [Bm]prayers be[A]before we [D]ate
My safe [G]ha[D]haven
Take me [Bm]back to my [A]Grandma's [D]place
Verse 2:
I was [Bm]seven years [A]old when I [D]learnt how to cook
And [Bm]ten when I [A]started to [D]sing
Oh she'd [Bm]bring me to [A]church
And she'd [D]cover my ears
When my [Bm]dad would scream [A]horrible [D]things
And I'd [Bm]lay on the [A]couch with the [D]plastic wrap
God for[Bm]forbid I spill [A]my J2[D]J2O
She'd [Bm]read me the [A]Bible, I'd [D]stare at the clock
And ask [Bm]Grandma, "When's [A]Mum coming [D]home?"
Chorus 2:
[G]Am[D]Amen

My safe [G]ha[D]haven

Verse 3:
Oh, [Bm]fifteen years [A]passed, how'd we [D]fall out of touch?
So I [Bm]called to see [A]if you're o[D]okay
It [Bm]rang and it [A]rang and I [D]finally gave up
Now I'm [Bm]paying a [A]lot for that [D]shame
Oh, [Bm]Aunt Jenny [A]told me you're [D]reaching the end
And the [Bm]blood isn't [A]reaching your [D]heart
And the [Bm]funeral [A]came in the [D]blink of an eye
Oh, I [Bm]feel like a [A]boy in the [D]dark
Chorus 3:
[G]Am[D]Amen
I pr[Bm]pray that the me[A]memories won't [D]fade
My safe [G]ha[D]haven
Can I [Bm]go back to [A]Grandma's [D]place
I say [G]Am[D]Amen
I pr[Bm]pray that the me[A]memories won't [D]fade
My safe [G]ha[D]haven

Can I [Bm]go back to [A]Grandma's [D]place
Can I [Bm]go back to [A]Grandma's [D]place
