AbAb - Eb MajorEb

Verse 1:
  AbAb        Eb MajorEb
My bedroom looks the same
      AbAb     Eb MajorEb
But that is not how it feels
      AbAb     Eb MajorEb
I guess the dog is now dead
     AbAb     Eb MajorEb
My little sister, in heels
  AbAb       Eb MajorEb
She drives her own car now
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Wears a ring in her nose
    AbAb    Eb MajorEb
Mom and dad play pretend
     AbAb     Eb MajorEb
But it's over and we know

Chorus:
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
    AbAb    Eb MajorEb      AbAb    Eb MajorEb
Now the ceiling's falling, I feel the rain
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
   AbAb   Eb MajorEb     AbAb    Eb MajorEb
With so much love comes so much pain


Verse 2:
      AbAb      Eb MajorEb
My mother's face is like stone
     AbAb      Eb MajorEb
My father comes and he goes
    AbAb         Eb MajorEb      AbAb Eb MajorEb
And our neighbors now they moved away to Mexico
 AbAb  Eb MajorEb      AbAb   Eb MajorEb
Reality comes once I finally hear
        AbAb        Eb MajorEb     AbAb Eb MajorEb
"Son I've been waiting for this moment for 13 years"

Chorus:
      AbAb      Eb MajorEb AbAb Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
   AbAb   Eb MajorEb    AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Can I say something to change your mind?
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
     AbAb    Eb MajorEb   AbAb    Eb MajorEb
All these years go by and I've been blind


Bridge:
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb      AbAb    Eb MajorEb
And as one chapter ends another chapter begins
    AbAb       Eb MajorEb       AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Now my life revolves around cliches I hated as a kid
  AbAb       Eb MajorEb        AbAb      Eb MajorEb
My sister's still young, I hate to see her face blue
     AbAb        Eb MajorEb         AbAb    Eb MajorEb
Though we can't control the rest one thing will always be true


Chorus:
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once

Where we found our way, oh the golden days
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
     AbAb  Eb MajorEb     AbAb    Eb MajorEb
Where my life begun, where life moves on
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once (Was a home, it was a home once)
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once (Was a home, it was a home once, oh!)
      AbAb   Eb MajorEb  AbAb  Eb MajorEb
This was a home once

This was a home once
