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