[Verse 1]
N.C.
Caught you lookin' past my shoulder
N.C.
Gonna tell you in my native tongue
       E
If the wrist does a twist
            C#                            N.C.
Then you'll know that the wicked eat their young
N.C.
People scratchin' just to taste it
N.C.
Like they don't know right from wrong
         E
But this place has a taste
        C#
And the flavors line the barrel of a gun


[Pre-Chorus]
E                                  C#
Standin' in the sun-soaked streets
                              E
In the land of perfect teeth

Hate to say I told you so
     D#
With such sincerity


[Chorus]
N.C.            B
Someone take me home
                   E
Cut me through the clouds
        G#m              C#
Back to Leesburg I found out
                  E              B
I’m a sentimental dog who comes around
          C#
But don’t belong
                B
Someone take me home
                   E
Cut me through the clouds
        G#m              C#
Back to Leesburg I found out
                  E              B
I’m a sentimental dog who comes around
          C#
But don’t belong
N.C.
I miss my native tongue


[Verse 2]
N.C.
You’re so desperate to impress us
N.C.
Raise your finger take a call
        E
Felt so hip in your kicks
         C#                                N.C.
Couldn't wait to let me know how much they cost
N.C.
Talk like you're so far above it
N.C.
Guess that I should bite my tongue
      E                           B
To be fair we don’t share much at all

Except the air inside our lungs


[Pre-Chorus]
E                                   C#
Standin' in the sun-soaked streets
                              E
In the land of perfect teeth

Hate to say I told you so
     D#
With such sincerity


[Chorus]
N.C.            B
Someone take me home
                   E
Cut me through the clouds
        G#m              C#
Back to Leesburg I found out
                  E              B
I’m a sentimental dog who comes around
          C#
But don’t belong
                B
Someone take me home
                   E
Cut me through the clouds
        G#m              C#
Back to Leesburg I found out
                  E              B
I’m a sentimental dog who comes around
          C#
But don’t belong
N.C.
I miss my native tongue
