Intro:
Em/B   C   G2
Em/B   C   G2   G

Verse 1:
C        Em          C                G/B     Em
They say home is the place where your heart is
Am                 C        G/B    Em
then I am home now but I am far away
C      Em            C            G/B     Em   (D/F#)
for so long I’ve let deep forests guard it
Am                   C     G2
and now it’s begging me to stay

Chorus 1:
        Em/B      C          G2
and I’m trying my best to be tough
   Em/B         C              G2
to pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
        Em                  A
but I’m not who I wanted to be
      C       G/B         D/F#         G
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea

Verse 2:
C        Em          C                G/B           Em
They say home is a   place where      you’re  needed
Am                 C        G/B    Em
then I am home now but    I am     leaving
C       Em            C             G/B     Em   (D/F#)
to feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
Am                   C         G2
and I’ll be silent and kiss it back

Chorus 2:
        Em/B      C           G2
this is not who I want you to see
     Em/B        C                G2
it’s just adding on weight to the darkness in me
         Em                A
and from the little I have understood
      C          G/B          D/F#         G
I believe that a house by the sea would do good 

Verse 3:
C        Em          C                G/B     Em
They say home is a place you can choose to be
Am                  C          G/B      Em
and I’ve decided to carry home inside me
C       Em            C       G/B    Em   (D/F#)
so it’s not really as if I am leaving
Am                 C     G2
it’s more like something pulling me

Chorus 3:
       Em/B        C            G2
‘cause behind everything that I do
  Em/B         C               G2
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
        Em              A
fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
      C           G/B      D/F#         G
in my heart in my mind I am already there

Chorus 4:
       Em/B      C          G2
yeah behind everything that I do
   Em/B        C             G2
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
         Em               A
and then I’ll be who I wanted to be
      C       G/B         D/F#         G
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea
