[Intro]
C C/B Am C/B (x3)
F G
C C/B Am C/B (x2)
[Verse]
C F C
Their sidewalks, songs and their knuckles are cracked
F C G
And they ring like an old broken bell
C F C
They kick and they scream, they call it brotherly love
F C G
And it seems like a living hell
Am G F C
But the pavement connects, and the knuckles protect
Am G F
And the cracked songs help heal the wounds
C F C
And they huddle together fight off the cold
Am G F
They kick scream and sing out of tune
Am G C G
And wait for the flowers to bloom
[Chorus]
C C/B Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
Where else would I go
Am C/B
It’s all I know
F
It’s a hell
G C C/B Am C/B C C/B Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
[Verse]
C
Out here it’s all earthquakes, plastic,
F C
and the hills are on fire
F C G
Styrofoam, tan moms and drought
C F C
I ain’t seen a black girl in 28 days
F C G
And I’m starting to have my doubts
Am G
No rain’s got me withering
F C
but at least I’m not shivering
Am G F
I can breathe here without all the gloom
C F C
We got our feet in the sand, endless possible land
Am G F
Bathing in the sun and the moon
Am G C G
With wildflowers always in bloom
[Chorus]
C C/B
It’s a helluva home
Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
It’s a helluva home
Am C/B
It’s a helluva home

Where else would I go
Am C/B
It’s all I know

It’s a hell
[Chorus]

It’s a helluva home

It’s a helluva home

It’s a helluva home

It’s a helluva home

Where else would I go

It’s all I know
F
It’s a hell
G Am
It's a helluva home
[Bridge]
C
I got used to waving goodbye
Dm
I got tired of grinding
F
in a giant city waiting to die
G
Yeah

[Outro]
D G D
You go east you go west you get tarnish and sheen
G D A
The trick is to live with the two
D G D
For now I’ll sing here with less in a world in between
Bm A G
As long as I’m singing with you
Bm A D
I want to sing it with you
