Lyrics

Intro

    Am  ...  F C G C (repeat)


Verse

              F                       C 
    There are few things pure in this world anymore
        G                  C 
    And home is one of the few
    We'd have a drink outside, maybe run and hide
    If we saw a couple men in blue

    But for me, its so damn easy to see 
    That your people are the people at home
    Well I've been away, but now I'm back today
    And there ain't no place I'd rather go


Chorus

               C              G                    Am 
        I feel home... when I see the faces that remember my own
        I feel home... when I'm chillin' outside with the people I know
        I feel home... and that's just what I feel
        Home to me is reality, and all I need is something real

    Feelin' alright, headin' out tonight
    Maybe off to a dark driveway
    I say now, some feel bored and some are lookin' for more
    But we all just decide to stay

    We got nothing to do, but when I look at you
    I see something that I know and love
    And with the crack of a smile, we all stay a while
    We know from home there ain't nothing above

    Well in the end, we can all call a friend
    Well, its something that's known as true
    And in a thousand years and a thousand tears
    I come findin' my original crew

    Cause for me, throughout eternity
    There's someplace we're welcome to go
    I said its, something free that means a lot to me
    When I'm with my friends, I feel home

        I feel home... when I see the faces that remember my own
        I feel home... when I'm chillin outside with the people I know
        I feel home... and that's just what I feel

        Home to me is reality, and all I need is something real
        Home to me is reality, and all I need is something real
        I feel home--------

        (instrumental chorus w/ solo to end)

About

My name is David Potsiadlo, and I created Songnotes to share my collection of guitar tabs, chords, and lyrics for my favorite songs.

Since I started playing guitar over 10 years ago, I've often been frustrated by the preponderance of mediocre and incomplete song tabs littered across the internet. To combat this, I started keeping my own collection of notes for each song I learn -- always taking the extra time to make sure accuracy and completeness are never compromised. Years later, my collection grew to the point where I knew I had to share it online with fellow aspiring musicians.

In December 2012, I began designing & developing a website that became Songnotes. Here, I share my personal collection of hand-crafted music notation with all those online. I hope you enjoy.
