INTRO: Gb B Db Ebm B Gb Dbsus4 Db
VERSE:
Gb B Db Ebm
All by myself
B Gb
With this great big world before me
Dbsus4 Db
But it’s all for someone else
Gb B Db Ebm
I’ve tried and tried again
B Gb
To let you know just where my heart is
Dbsus4 Db
To tell the truth and not pretend
PRE-CHORUS:
Gb/Bb B Gb Db
All I needed was to get away
Gb/Bb B Dbsus4 Db
Just to realize that I was meant to stay
CHORUS:
Gb
Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls
B
Where the whales can live ’cause they’re gentle people
Ebm Gb B Gb
In my hometown, my hometown
Ebm Gb
Thought I made it clear, do I have to say it
B
It was always there, we just didn’t see it
Ebm Gb B Gb B
All I need is you and me and my home
POST-CHORUS:
Gb B
Vera með þér, með þér

Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda

Í heimabærinn minn
VERSE:
Gb B Db Ebm
You want the world (Want the world)
B Gb
All the neon lights and billboards
Dbsus4 Db
To be seen and to be heard (Heard)
Gb B Db Ebm
And I followed you (Oh-ooh)
B Gb
But now I know what makes me happy
Dbsus4 Db
And I can tell you feel it too
CHORUS:
Gb
Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls

Where the whales can live ’cause they’re gentle people

In my hometown, my hometown
Ebm Gb/Bb
Where the northern lights burst out in colors
B
And the magic nights surpass all others
Ebm Gb B
Það eina sem ég þrái er, að vera
POST-CHORUS:
Gb B
Vera með þér (Vera með þér), með þér (Vera með þér)
Ebm Gb
Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda

My home, my hometown
