To Have A Home

Db Gbm Db Gbm

[Verse]
Db
"Home."
     Gbm              Db
I've heard the word before,
       Gbm   Bbm        Gb
but it never meant much more
                                 Absus4 Ab
than just a thing I've never had.
  Db
A place,
     Gbm                  Db
They say, "Hey, know your place!"
         Gb    Adim  Bbm
But I've never had a place to even know,
     A
or a face that I could go to if I
E      Eb      Absus4 Ab
needed someone there

[Verse 2]
    Db
I'm laughing
     Gbm            Db
it's hard to hide a smile
   Gb        Bbm    Gb
My god, it's been a while
                             Absus4 Ab
since I have had a reason to.
Db
To think
     Gbm             Db
it's been here all along
Gb        Adim  Bbm
somewhere to belong, and a reason,
  A
a something to believe in
E               E7
   I've finally found it,
  C#m             Am
a place where I'm wanted
          E         B
This must be how it feels
   A      E
to have a home

[Bridge]
A7
   I used to dream about it
D5
   but never schemed or counted
   E
on fantasies or wishes
            E7
it breaks a man to see what he misses
A7
   So many nights I'd pray
      D5
for a better life, a better day
      Bm
but I never thought that it'd come true
     B7                                         E E7 C#m
it's finally here and I don't know what to do
        Am                  E E7 A Am
and I'm trying not to cry
          E           B
This must be how it feels
A           E
  to have a home

C               C7
   I've finally made it
     Am             Fm
I've hoped and I've waited
            C                G
and for the first time in my life,
        F       Abdim Am
I don't feel so a  -  lone

[Outro]
   C               G
My heart starts to heal
   C              G
to know that it's real.
        F           G
This is how it must feel
   F    G   C Fm C Fm C
to have a   home!
