Verse 1
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
Home ... is where I want to be
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
Pick me up ... and turn me round
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
I feel numb ... born with a weak heart

The less we say about it the better
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
Make it up as we go along
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
It's ok I know nothing's wrong ... nothing

Hi yo ... you got light in your eyes (And you’re ...)
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
And you're standing here beside me
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
I love the passing of time
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Never for money - always for love

Cover up and say goodnight - say good night

Verse 3
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
Home ... is where I want to be
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
But I guess I'm already there
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
I come home ... she lifted up her wings
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
I guess that this must be the place
Verse 4
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
I can't tell one from another
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Did I find you, or you find me?
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em]
There was a time before we were born
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7] [ [D] ]
If someone asks, this where I'll be ... where I'll be
Chorus
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7] | [D] [Em] | [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7] |
Hi yo ... we drift in and out
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7] | [D] [Em] | [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7] |
Hi yo ... sing into my mouth
[Gmaj7] [D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Out of all those kinds of people
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
You got a face with a view
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
I'm just an animal looking for a home and
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Share the same space for a minute or two
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
And you love me till my heart stops
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Love me till I'm dead
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
[D] [Em] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Gmaj7]
Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head like a ...
