Verse 1:
C Em C G/B Em
They say home is the place where your heart is
Am C G/B Em
then I am home now but I am far away
C Em C G/B Em (D/F#)
for so long I’ve let deep forests guard it
Am C G2
and now it’s begging me to stay
Chorus 1:
Em/B C G2
and I’m trying my best to be tough
Em/B C G2
to pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
Em A
but I’m not who I wanted to be
C G/B D/F# G
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea
Verse 2:
C Em C G/B Em
They say home is a place where you’re needed
Am C G/B Em
then I am home now but I am leaving
C Em C G/B Em (D/F#)
to feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
Am C G2
and I’ll be silent and kiss it back
Chorus 2:
Em/B C G2
this is not who I want you to see
Em/B C G2
it’s just adding on weight to the darkness in me
Em A
and from the little I have understood
C G/B D/F# G
I believe that a house by the sea would do good
Verse 3:
C Em C G/B Em
They say home is a place you can choose to be
Am C G/B Em
and I’ve decided to carry home inside me
C Em C G/B Em (D/F#)
so it’s not really as if I am leaving
Am C G2
it’s more like something pulling me
Chorus 3:
Em/B C G2
‘cause behind everything that I do
Em/B C G2
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
Em A
fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
C G/B D/F# G
in my heart in my mind I am already there
Chorus 4:
Em/B C G2
yeah behind everything that I do
Em/B C G2
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
Em A
and then I’ll be who I wanted to be
C G/B D/F# G
in my heart I belong in a house by the sea
Sing along
They say home is the place where your heart isThen I am home now, though I am far away
For so long I've let the forest guard it
And now it's begging me to stay
And I'm trying my best to be tough
To pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
But I'm not who I wanted to be
In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
They say home is a place where you're needed
Then I am home now, but I am leaving
To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
And I will be silent and kiss it back
This is not who I want you to see
It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me
And from the little I have understood
I believe that a house by the sea would do good
They say home is a place you can choose to be
And I've decided to carry home inside me
So it's not really as if I am leaving
It's more like something pulling me
Because behind everything that I do
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
Fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
In my heart, in my mind I am already there
Yeah behind everything that I do
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
And then I'll be who I wanted to be
In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
