Intro
A - Fb
[Verse 1]
A Fb
My bedroom looks the same
A Fb
But that is not how it feels
A Fb
I guess the dog is now dead
A Fb
My little sister, in heels
A Fb
She drives her own car now
A Fb
Wears a ring in her nose
A Fb
Mom and dad play pretend
A Fb
But it's over and we know
[Chorus]
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
Now the ceiling's falling, I feel the rain
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
With so much love comes so much pain
[Verse 2]
A Fb
My mother's face is like stone
A Fb
My father comes and he goes
A Fb A Fb
And our neighbors now they moved away to Mexico
A Fb A Fb
Reality comes once I finally hear
A Fb A Fb
"Son I've been waiting for this moment for 13 years"
[Chorus]
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
Can I say something to change your mind?
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
All these years go by and I've been blind
[Bridge]
A Fb A Fb
And as one chapter ends another chapter begins
A Fb A Fb
Now my life revolves around cliches I hated as a kid
A Fb A Fb
My sister's still young, I hate to see her face blue
A Fb A Fb
Though we can't control the rest one thing will always be true
[Chorus]
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
Where we found our way, oh the golden days
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
Where my life begun, where life moves on
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once (Was a home, it was a home once)
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once (Was a home, it was a home once, oh!)
A Fb A Fb
This was a home once

This was a home once
