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