G Gm7 G Gm7 ( x2 )
β« Verse 1:
F
I used to just walk on in
G Gm7 G Gm7
Now I gotta knock on the door
F
I'm parking on the street now and
G Gm7 G
My muddy tennis shoes ain't on the porch
β« Pre-Chorus:
Gm7 F
And now my bedroom's just my brother's mess
F
I feel like I'm a hotel guest
Gm7 G
It's always just the way it goes, I guess
β« Chorus:
Fmaj7
But I can't say I don't miss it
Fmaj7
When I Go back and visit
G
It's 'bout the same but something's changed
Gm7
Since I've been on my own
Fmaj7
Yeah it might be where I started
Fmaj7
But now it's only where half my heart is
Gm7 C
'Cause I grew up and I moved out
F G Gm7 G Gm7
And just like that now home is just a house
β« Verse 2:
F
I know I used to live there
G Gm7 G Gm7
'Cause I'm in every picture on the wall
F
Back when I had brown hair
G Gm7 G Gm7
And I picked up a guitar to get away from it all, oh
β« Pre-Chorus:
F
Now it's quiet in my living room
C
And I love my place, I really do
β« Chorus:
Fmaj7
But I can't say I don't miss it
Fmaj7
When I Go back and visit
G
It's 'bout the same but something's changed
Gm7
Since I've been on my own
Fmaj7
Yeah it might be where I started
Fmaj7
But now it's only where half my heart is
Gm7 C
'Cause I grew up and I moved out
F G Gm7 G Gm7
And just like that now home is just a house
F
It's just a house
β« Bridge:
Gm
I know that's how it's supposed to be
C
Put twenty down for a front door key
F
And a welcome mat, greener grass
F
There ain't no way I'd trade all that
β« Outro:
Fmaj7
'Cause I finally did it
Fmaj7
It's a whole lot different
G
But this couch is freedom now
Gm
I call it all my own
F
Yeah this brand new life I started
F
That's where my heart is
Gm
I moved out, went ten miles south
F G Gm C
This place is so much more than just a house
Gm G Gm C Gm G
It ain't just a house
