[Verse]
 
D
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend,
                                                           Em
All the fruit's on the ground, the birds have all moved back into my attic,
                                                                     D
Whistled in static, young learn to fly, I will patch up the holes once again,
 
D
Well, I can't believe that my lime tree is dead,
                                                   Em
I thought it was sleeping, I guess it got fed up with not being fed,
                                                                   D
I would be, too, I keep food in my belly and hope that my time isn't soon (Isn't soon)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                 Em
So I try to understand, what I can't hold in my hand,
    G          A         D
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you,
 
D
And if you could try to find it too, cause this
Em
Place is overgrown, it's a waxin' moon,
G         A              D
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
 
 
[Verse]
 
D
Back of my house, there's a trail that won’t end,
 
We went walking so far that it grew back in
        Em
And there's no trail at all, only grass growing tall,
                                             D
Get out my machete, and battle with time once again,
 Em                                          D
But I'm bound to lose cause I’ll be damned if time don’t win
 
D
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend,
 
All the seeds from the fruit buried and begin their
Em
Own family trees, teach them thank you and please,
                                                      D
Spread their own roots, then watch the young fruit grow again,
   Em                                        D
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins,
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                  Em
So I try to understand, what I can't hold in my hand, and
G         A          D
whatever I find I'll find my way back to you,
 
D
And if you could try to find it too, cause this
Em
Place is overgrown, it's a waxin' moon,
G         A                D
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
 
G         A                D
Said home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
G         A                D
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too

Yeah that A was needed in there. I think at the end it also needs a D.

Here are the corrected lyrics: I gotta get home there’s a garden to tend There's fruit on the ground and the birds have all moved back into my attic Whistle and static when the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up again I can't believe that my lime tree is dead I thought it was sleeping I guess it got fed up with not being fed And I would be too I keep food in my belly and hope that my time isn't soon And so I try to understand what I can’t hold in my hand and wherever we are home is there too And if you could try to find it to cause this Place is overgrowing to wax and gloom Home is wherever we are if there's nothing to In the back of our house, there's a trail that won’t end We been walking so far that it grew back in There’s no trail at all only grass growing taller get out my machete and battle with time once again But I'm bound to lose cause I’ll be damned if time don’t win I gotta get home there’s a garden to tend All the seeds from the fruit buried and begin their old family trees teach them thank you and pleases they spread their own roots then watch the young fruit grow again and this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins And so I try to understand what I can’t hold in my hand and whatever I find I'll find my way back to you And if you could try to find it too cause this place is overgrowing to wax and gloom Home is wherever we are if there's nothing to
