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