              Birdy - Home 
 
Am, F, Am, F 
 
Am                              F 
Home, reflections of eyes shine bright and my mind remind me 
  Am                                         F 
I long, to be cold and feel alive for that's what inspires me 
Am                                      F 
Home, to be free, just to breathe, only seen in the eyes that know me 
Am                                      F 
Home, like a dream out of reach I can't see through the film that clouds it 
 
Dm       Em      Am 
Memories fade to dust 
Dm     Em     Am 
Slowly losing touch 
 
     Am 
To belong is the feeling I want 
      Em 
Is it wrong to miss the time that we had? 
         F 
Now it's gone 
       Dm                    Em              Am 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is 
 
It's the feeling I want 
      Em 
Is it wrong to miss the time that we had? 
         F 
Now it's gone 
       Dm                    Em              Am 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is 
 
Am, F 
 
Am                                   F 
Home, used to wish to be gone, to be far from the ones who choke me 
Am                                F 
Now, all I want is to hear, to be near to the walls around me 
 
Dm       Em      Am 
Memories fade to gray 
Dm       Em      Am 
Take me to the place 
 
         Am 
Where I belong is the feeling I want 
      Em 
Is it wrong to miss the time that we had? 
         F 
Now it's gone 
       Dm                    Em              Am 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is 
 
It's the feeling I want 
      Em 
Is it wrong to miss the time that we had? 
         F 
Now it's gone 
       Dm                    Em               G 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is 
 
                                       Dm 
I'm grateful for the chance that it's mine 
    Em                          F   G 
So I'll cherish every second of time 
 
     Am 
To belong is the feeling I want 
      Em 
Is it wrong to miss the time that we had? 
         F 
Now it's gone 
       Dm                    Em              Am 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is 
 
It's the feeling I want 
      Em 
Is it wrong to miss the time that we had? 
         F 
Now it's gone 
       Dm                    Em               Am 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is 
       Dm                    Em               Am 
Didn't plan for this, home is where my heart is
