C




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

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

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


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

      C
If I built my home from paper
      N.C.
You'd say I'd done my best
               N.C.
And when the wolf comes 'round to blow it down
        N.C.                   G
You’d build it back again


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