Verse 1:
Am                         C
How can I hope to make you understand
F     Bb E7     E7b13 E7
Why I do what I do
Am                     C
Why I must travel to a distant land
Dm           E7     A
Far from the home I love

Verse 2:
Amaj7              C#m7
Once I was happily content to be
Bm7       E7
As I was, where I was
Amaj7                       C#m7
Close to the people who are close to me
Bm7         E7     A
Here in the home I love

Bridge:
Bm7       E7         Amaj7     A6
Who could see that a man would come
          Bm7                    C#m7
Who would change the shape of my dreams
Dmaj7     C#m7   Bm7        Amaj7
Helpless, now, I stand with him
Bm7      C#m7  Dmaj7       E7
Watching older dreams grow dim

Verse 3:
Am                    C
Oh, what a melancholy choice this is
F             E7
Wanting home, wanting him
Am                        C
Closing my heart to every hope but his
Dm          E7     A
Leaving the home I love

Verse 4:
Amaj7                            C#m7
There where my heart has settled long ago
Bm7        E7
I must go, I must go
Am                       C
Who could imagine I'd be wand'ring so
F6           E7     Am     C7
Far from the home I love - Yet,
Dm           E          Am
There with my love, I'm home
