[Intro]
F C F C F C G
[Verse]
Am C F C
So tell me of the future, as I sit down and pray
Am C F C
So tell me of the treasures, and the pitfalls in the way
Am F C
Summer city, bathed in golden light,
Am F C
a simple secret, knowing no return
[Chorus]
G
THIS IS WHERE I WAS BORN AND DIED
F
THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
G
THIS IS THE LAND THAT I CALL HOME
F
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT FROM ME
[Verse]
Am C F C
So tell me of the bridges, as we pass underneath
Am C F C
So tell me of the stones, and what lies beneath
Am F C
Why speak of stones if it's the arch that matters to me?
Am F C
Without the stone, there can be no bridge
[Chorus]
G
THIS IS WHERE I WAS BORN AND DIED
F
THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
G
THIS IS THE LAND THAT I CALL HOME
F
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT FROM ME
[Verse]
Am C F C
So tell me of my voyage, as I set sail today
Am C F C
Years of youthful friendship degenerate into brawls
Am F C
I stumble like a blind man
Am F C
I won't forget you and the choices that we made
[Chorus]
G
THIS IS WHERE I WAS BORN AND DIED
F
THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO BE
G
THIS IS THE LAND THAT I CALL HOME
F
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT FROM ME

Catch you falling (7x)
