[Intro]
Em/B C D
Em/B C D G
[Verse 1]
C Em C G/B Em
They say home is the place where your heart is
Am C G/B Em
then I am home now but I am far away
C Em C G/B Em (D/F#)
for so long I’ve let deep forests guard it
Am C D
and now it’s begging me to stay
[Chorus 1]
Em/B C D
and I’m trying my best to be tough
Em/B C D
to pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
Em A
but I’m not who I wanted to be
C G/B D/F# G
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea
[Verse 2]
C Em C G/B Em
They say home is a place where you’re needed
Am C G/B Em
then I am home now but I am leaving
C Em C G/B Em (D/F#)
to feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
Am C D
and I’ll be silent and kiss it back
[Chorus 2]
Em/B C D
this is not who I want you to see
Em/B C D
it’s just adding on weight to the darkness in me
Em A
and from the little I have understood
C G/B D/F# G
I believe that a house by the sea would do good
[Verse 3]
C Em C G/B Em
They say home is a place you can choose to be
Am C G/B Em
and I’ve decided to carry home inside me
C Em C G/B Em (D/F#)
so it’s not really as if I am leaving
Am C D
it’s more like something pulling me
[Chorus 3]
Em/B C D
‘cause behind everything that I do
Em/B C D
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
Em A
fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
C G/B D/F# G
in my heart in my mind I am already there
[Chorus 4]
Em/B C D
yeah behind everything that I do
Em/B C D
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
Em A
and then I’ll be who I wanted to be
C G/B D/F# G
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea
It's my first tab/chord so sorry for any mistakes!
