Ab           Cm              Ab                       Eb/G      Cm
They say home is the place where your heart is
Fm                             Ab              Eb/G                Cm
then I am home now  but I am far away
Ab     Cm               Ab               Eb/G             Cm       (Bb/D)
for so long I’ve let deep forests guard it
Fm                            Ab      Bb
and now it’s begging me to stay

             Cm          Ab           Bb
and I’m trying my best to be tough
         Cm           Ab                                  Bb
to pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
            Cm                          F
but I’m not who I wanted to be
          Ab         Eb/G       Bb/D             Eb
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
