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