Verse 1:
B
The sky looks like patchwork
Stitched just enough so the
sky won't fall on top of us
Ebm
It's Alright The city
B
was covered in gold
And made out of dreams
Everything we wanted was
Ebm
within our reach tonight
And we stood
B
Tip-toed eyes-glued
at the scene and
the realization that
Chorus 1:
Ebm
Everything was so
F# B
clear and plain to see
This is where I belong
G#m
you can't take me
I was fooling myself
all along
B
I'm never coming back
C#
I'm never coming back
(Intro Riff)
I'm home
Verse 2:
B
And we drove what
felt like forever
down this street and stopped
Ebm
at the edge of the earth
It looks beautiful from here
B
This is a place we dreamed of
A place made up in our heads
Ebm
we thought we'd never see
B
But here I am Eyes blinded
by painted smiles
We lived a lifetime that night
Chorus 2:
Ebm
Everything was so
F# B
clear and plain to see
This is where I belong
G#m
you can't take me
I was fooling myself
all along
B
I'm never coming back
C#
I'm never coming back
F# F#
I'm home, I'm Home
