Building A Home

F#                                A#m
We live on a lake, and sometimes there are waves;
          B                       A#m        C#
I guess that explains why we've been led astray.

F#                                                          A#m
Because if the west is what we need, you can bet we'll be heading east.
          B                 A#m               C#
We're so easily distracted by the slightest breeze.
              F#                          A#m
When there's too many roads, and far too many shows;
    B                                  A#m   C#
all these empty highs become too many lows.

    B                      A#m     D#m       C#
We walk through crowded streets to be by ourselves;
    E          C#
screaming for help...

F#       A#m
I won't wait
B             F#
to hear them say,
B           F#        E     C#
"You were wrong all along."
F#           A#m
We've been drowning,
B               F#
and we've been doubting;
B                F#       E        C#
I think it's time for a change...

       F#                            A#m
We're building a home, but it's not made of stone;
               B            F#             C#
a place where we can go to find a lasting hope.
          F#                           A#m
With our anxious pace, life's like an endless chase;
           B                                   F#     C#
where we don't know who's after us, but we run anyways...

    B                      A#m     D#m       C#
We walk through crowded streets to be by ourselves;
    E          C#
screaming for help...

F#       A#m
I won't wait
B             F#
to hear them say,
B           F#        E     C#
"You were wrong all along."
F#           A#m
We've been drowning,
B               F#
and we've been doubting;
B                F#       E        C#
I think it's time for a change...


F#    C#   D#m     B
We almost left without saying goodbye.
