🎸 Verse 1:
    C majorC
If I built my home from paper
    FF        C majorC
You'd say I’d done my best
       FF          C majorC
And when the wolf comes 'round to blow it down
    FF         G+G
You'd build it back again
    C majorC
If I lost myself in longing
    FF      C majorC
In the forest of my head
     FF        C majorC
Oh your hands are at the ready
   FF      G+G
To take me home again

🎸 Chorus:
    A minorAm        E MajorE
When I feel too big for my own bones
  C majorC         D MajorD
To small for life's affairs
    FF       C majorC
It's a trouble living in this world
     FF       A minorAm     D MajorD
But it's home when you are there
      FF         C majorC
Oh, it's home when you are there

🎸 Verse 2:
    C majorC
It's a terrifying feeling
     FF        C majorC
It's the fear of letting go
   FF        C majorC
Free falling in slow motion
     FF      G+G
Into the arms of the unknown
    C majorC
If you catch me running backwards
     FF        C majorC
Getting tangled in the change
     FF        C majorC
Will you promise, tell me honest
    FF       G+G
If I'm lost along the way


🎸 Chorus:
     A minorAm       E MajorE
'Cause I may be getting older
   C majorC        D MajorD
But maybe I'm still scared
    FF       C majorC
It's a trouble living in this world
     FF       A minorAm     D MajorD
But it's home when you are there
      FF         C majorC
Oh, it's home when you are there

You'd say I'd done my best

You’d build it back again


🎸 Chorus:
    A minorAm        E MajorE
When I feel too big for my own bones

It's a trouble living in this world

But it's home when you are there
      FF
Oh, it's home when you are there
