              Em D  
 
Em                     D 
I was listening to the ocean 
Em                  D 
I saw a face in the sand 
           C 
But when I picked it up 
         G         D          C 
Then it vanished away from my hand 
Em                  D 
I had a dream I was 7 
Em                   D 
Climbing my way in a tree 
        C 
I saw a piece of heaven 
G          D          C 
Waiting impatient for me 
 
    Am 
And I was running far away 
      C 
Would I run off the wall someday? 
G                D 
Nobody knows, nobody knows 
   Am 
And I was dancing in the rain 
   C 
I felt alive and I can't complain 
 
G 
But no, take me home 
D                   Cmaj7 
Take me home where I belong 
                    C 
I can't take it anymore 
 
Em               D 
I was painting a picture 
Em                            D 
The picture was a painting of you and 
      C                         G 
For a moment I thought you were here 
           D              C 
But then again, it wasn't true 
    Em                        D 
And all this time I have been lying 
    Em                    D 
Oh, lying in secret to myself 
        C                       G            D 
I've been putting sorrow on the farrest place 
        C 
On my shelf, da di da 
 
    Am 
And I was running far away 
      C 
Would I run off the wall someday? 
G                D 
Nobody knows, nobody knows 
   Am 
And I was dancing in the rain 
   C 
I felt alive and I can't complain 
 
G 
But no, take me home 
D                   Cmaj7 
Take me home where I belong 
 
I got no other place to go 
G 
No, take me home 
D                   Cmaj7 
Take me home where I belong 
 
I got no other place to go 
G 
No, take me home 
D                   Cmaj7 
Take me home where I belong 
                    C 
I can't take it anymore 
 
          C 
But I kept running 
                    C 
For a soft place to fall 
          G 
And I kept running 
                    D 
For a soft place to fall 
          C 
And I kept running 
                    C 
For a soft place to fall 
          G 
And I kept running 
                    D 
For a soft place to fall 
 
    Am 
And I was running far away 
      C 
Would I run off the wall someday? 
 
G 
But no, take me home 
D                   Cmaj7 
Take me home where I belong 
 
I got no other place to go 
G 
No, take me home 
D                   Cmaj7 
Take me home where I belong 
 
I got no other place to go 
 
G             D 
No, take me home 
            Cmaj7 
Home where I belong, oh no, no 
G             D 
No, take me home 
            Cmaj7 
Home where I belong, oh oh-oh oh-oh 
G             D 
No, take me home 
            Cmaj7 
Home where I belong, oh no, no 
G             D 
No, take me home 
            Cmaj7 
Home where I belong 
                    C 
I can't take it anymore
