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