Verse 1:
B/E               F#
'Round the corner
                      Bmaj7
From your favorite place
                  F#
There's a house I lived
                     B/E
For seven thousand days
           F#
On occasion
                  Bmaj7
We were placing bets
                     F#
If one of us would move
                   Bmaj7/C#
Away and just forget
                      D#m
I tried to play it cool
                      Bmaj7/E
But only you could see
                     F#
I knew it would be me

Chorus:
B6/E             F#
When you come home
                 B
Who will you know?
                   G#m
Maybe I should stay
F#                   B6/E
It could turn out okay
                     F#
You won't be so scared
                 B
Once you get there
                G#m
Wasn't a mistake
F#                     B6/E
Leaving the Garden State
F#                     B  F#
Leaving the Garden State


Verse 2:
         B/E
We were cut from a cloth
      G#m
And affixed to a façade
      Bmaj7                            F#
Can I grow with my heart tied in a knot?
       B/E
It's a whole different place
         G#m
When you look from out of state
        Bmaj7                       F#
I thank God for my parents every day


Bridge:
B/E                 G#m
I'm seventeen and I can't stop
                     B
Sleeping through my alarm clock
                   F#
Mother said it's unhealthy
                             B/E
And most of my friends never helped me
                        G#m
I thought about it last Christmas
                           B
The rest of them all got addicted
                C#m
It's none of my business
                   G#m
I'm glad that I've grown
 F#           B6/E
Away from home

Chorus:
B6/E             F#
When you come home
                 B
Who will you know?
                   G#m
Maybe I should stay
F#                   B6/E
It could turn out okay
                     F#
You won't be so scared
                 B
Once you get there
                G#m
Wasn't a mistake
F#                     B6/E  F#
Leaving the Garden State
                       B  F#
Leaving the Garden State
                       B6/E  F#
Leaving the Garden State
                       B  F#
Leaving the Garden State


Outro:
B6/E             F#
When you come home
                 B
Who will you know?
                   G#m
Maybe I should stay
F#                   B6/E
It could turn out okay
                     F#
You won't be so scared
                 B
Once you get there
                G#m
Wasn't a mistake
F#                B6/E
Leaving the Garden State
