   Bb Dm Csus4 C
   Bb Dm Csus4 C

Verse 1:
Bb                Dm                        Csus4
 Since I was thirteen, I knew I had to get out
                       Csus4
But when I packed my bags
                        Bb
I cried the whole way down
                    Dm
Left my friends back, in our small town
Csus4                                    Csus4
Along with all my dreams of being loved how

Bb                        Dm
 But there were bigger things
                  Csus4
In the stones for me
                      Csus4         F
I had to give up a love to go find me
Bb              Dm                    Csus4
 And yeah it cut, ‘cause I did get out
                    C
But my heart still wandered to my hometown

Chorus:
F                      Dm
I broke down on the phone, saying
               C
“I wanna come home, dad”
                Bb
“I wanna come home, get me out”
           F                   Dm
He said, “No, I promise you don’t”
                 C                   C
“Just give it a go, you’re gonna be gold out there”

Post-chorus:
Bb                   Dm
And so I started to like it
                      Csus4
Cut my hair and then dyed it
                     Csus4             F
Kissed a couple of strangers, didn’t mind it
Bb                 Dm
Left my love back, in that ghost town
C                          C
And broke a couple of hearts, I came to find out

Verse 2:
Bb                      Dm
And my mother called, said
                         C
“What the xxxx are you doing?”
                      Csus4                 Bb
“You’ve gotta be better than, better than this”
                 Dm                   C
So yeah it stings, ‘cause I did get out
                    C
But my soul still roams around my hometown

Chorus:
F                        Dm
I broke down on the phone, saying
                  C
“I wanna come home, mom”
                Bbsus2
“I wanna come home, get me out”
F                               Dm
She said, “No, you’ve gotta be bold”
                      C
“If you want it, you go”
                      Bbsus2
“But don’t get too cold out there”

Chorus:
F                      Dm
I broke down on the phone, saying
               C
“I wanna come home, dad”
                Bbsus2
“I wanna come home, get me out”
           F                   Dm
He said, “No, I promise you don’t”

“Just give it a go, you’re gonna be gold out there”

Outro:
F                   Dm                        Csus4
 So I hung up the phone, with a lump in my throat
                      Bb
Knowing now what I know, I had to bury
     F                  Dm                       Csus4
And I etched it into stone, carved it into my bones
                           Csus4
It isn’t my home, just a memory

F                Dm                        Csus4
 I hung up the phone, with a lump in my throat
                      Bb
Knowing now what I know, I was empty
     F                  Dm                       Csus4
And I etched it into stone, carved it into my bones
                     (nc)
It can still be my home, in my memory
