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