Verse 1:
C     G
Red brick and bamboo towers
Am        F
Line the skyline with much power
C      G
Yellow cars and smoggy skies
Am          F
With neon lights that attract your eyes

Bridge:
C
Hong Kong is moving around you
G
You can't help but stand there in awe
Am
Hong Kong is moving without you
F
But you can't help and drop your jaw

Chorus:
C
A home away from home
G
Yet, oh, so far away
Am
Been years since I've been back
F
And my memories will slowly fade away
C        G      Am  F C* G*
My memories will slowly fade away

Verse 2:
C*        G*
Late nights were alright
Am*       F*
And dim sum was always fun
C*       G*
Big family with too much food
Am*     F*
Oh, just eat more and don't be rude

Bridge:
C
Your family is living without you
G
All the way across the sea
Am
Your family is moving without you
F
No matter how much you plea

Chorus:
C
A home away from home
G
Yet, oh, so far away
Am
Been years since I've been back
F
And my memories will slowly fade away
C        G      Am  F C* G*
My memories will slowly fade away

Verse 3:
Am      C      F
I don't know when I'll be back
Am       C    F
It feels like i'm losing track of time
  Am      C    F
My memories they feel so vivid
  Am   C    F
Yet so much time has passed
C
You're missing a piece of yourself
G
You left it behind you there
Am
You're missing a piece of yourself
F
Don't it feel so unfair

Outro:
C
That your family is living without you
G
All the way across the sea
Am
Your family is moving without you
F
No matter how much you plea
Am   G       C    F
maybe one day you'll see them again
Am   G       C
maybe one day you'll see
