Tom: C
G
I'm sure you'd love where I'm from
C
Green like you've never seen before
Em D
Take a ride through the hills
C
We're not in Cali anymore
G
Drive around and I point out
C
All the places from my stories
Em D
That's my school and there's the train
C
Here it is in all it's glory
D Em G D C
It's crazy being somewhere time stands still
D Em G D C
If you want me to take you home of course I will
[Chorus]
G D
And I bet my family would love you
Em C
They take a little warming up to
G D Em C
They'll press you on the details of the first night that we met
G D
And my mom would bake you something sweet
Em C
That good southern hospitality
G D Em C
And you'd look around and wonder why I ever even left
D Em
And wouldn't that be nice
D Em
But we'd never get inside
D Em D C
As if I had a choice to fall in love
Am D G
But home isn't home for people like us
[Verse]
G
You understand we can't hold hands
C
Unless we like getting dirty looks
Em D
And as we walk down memory lane
C
You'd see that most of them ain't good
G
That's the church where I first learned
C
That I wasn't the good kind of different
Em D
People age but never change
C
They just hide behind white fences
D Em G D C
It's crazy being somewhere time stands still
D Em G D C
I thought you'd meet by now but you probably never will
[Chorus]
G D
And I bet my family would love you
Em C
They take a little warming up to
G D Em C
They'll press you on the details of the first night that we met
G D
And my mom would bake you something sweet
Em C
That good southern hospitality
G D Em C
And you'd look around and wonder why I ever even left
D Em
And wouldn't that be nice
D Em
But we'd never get inside
D Em D C
As if I had a choice to fall in love
Am D G
But home isn't home for people like us
F C
So much irony in that
G D
They'd stop you at the welcome mat
F C
And be real nice when they tell me
D
I should've never come back
F C
And everything we expect
Bm Dm
Is exactly what we don't get
F C G
Well, I guess that's what we get
[Chorus]
G D
And I bet my family would love you
Em C
If they ever got to know you
G D Em C
We'd laugh about the details of the first night that we met
G D
And my mom would bake you something sweet
Em C
And sneak you the family recipe
G D Em C
And you'd look around and wonder why I ever even left
D Em
Wouldn't that be nice
D Em
But we'll never even try
D Em D C
As if we had a choice to fall in love
Am D Em
But home isn't home for people like us
Am D
No, home isn't home for people
G
Like us
