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