Em / B – C – G2 – G

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     G2
and now it’s begging me to stay

        Em / B      C          G2
and I’m trying my best to be tough
   Em / B         C              G2
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

they say home is a place where you’re needed
then I am home now but I am leaving
to feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
and I’ll be silent and kiss it back
this is not who I want you to see
it’s just adding on weight to the darkness in me
and from the little I have understood
I believe that a house by the sea would do good

they say home is a place you can choose to be
and I’ve decided to carry home inside me
so it’s not really as if I am leaving
it’s more like something pulling me
‘cause behind everything that I do
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
in my heart in my mind I am already there

yeah behind everything that I do
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
and then I’ll be who I wanted to be
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea
