To Keep An Area

D A     D A         D A       D A     D A
   Child,   you know   in time   to go
F# E         F#                           E
     And you try because you know that it matters
       F#                E
But you stumble on broken ladders
         F#                        (D)
And it’s easier to turn back and go home

   Child,
D A       D      A      D A
   I know you closer now
    F#                      E
And I don’t want to see you go
        F#              E
But I’d kind of like to know
F#                E
If I asked you to stay
                   (D)
What would you say?

I wanted to keep you away

A safe haven
