Home Is Where The Heart Breaks-Will Hoge
G-C-G-D-G  
GI don’t remember much about CDaddy at Gall
GSaid he drove a truck, Momma said he was haDndsome and taGll
GBut to me he was never more than just a Cpicture on the Gwall
GAnd for my 16th birthday all he could Dgive me was a Gcall
G-C-G-D-G  
GMomma was a looker, that’s what the Cmen would always Gsay
GShe must have tried them all out once DDaddy went Gaway
GAnd to me our back door was just some Cbeat up, tGurning page
GAnd I just sat there dying inside, there was Dnothing left to Gsay
CAnd the wheels go ‘Ground
DAnd the world gets Gcold
CAnd the best that I could Ghope for is just to Ddie when I get Gold
CAnd these four Gwalls drive Dme Eminsane
CSometimes Ghome is where the Dheart Gbreaks
G-C-G-D-G  
Momma died from cancer when I was 22
And this house was all she left to me, so what else could I do
I got a job out paving highways and fell all in love with you
And now months later there’s a nursery in what used to be my room
Now I come home, we don’t talk, and you cry yourself to sleep
And I sit there ‘til the liquor finally gets the best of me
Then I crumple down beside you and kiss your tear-stained cheek
And realize this house is just a black hole and all I ever do is sink
And the tears fall down
And the world gets cold
And the best that I could hope for is to die when I get old
And these four walls drive me insane
Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
My son asked me Saturday “Daddy, how come you never smile?”
The worst thing a man could do is just lie right to his child
So I just tell some tired story about years ago and running wild
He can figure out the cold hard truth on his own in just a while
CAnd the years Ggo by
DAnd the world gets Gcold
CAnd the best that I could Ghope for is just to Ddie when I get Gold
CAnd these four Gwalls drive Dme Eminsane
CSometimes Ghome is where the Dheart Gbreaks
CSometimes Ghome is where the Dheart Gbreaks
G-C-G-D-G  
Home is where the heart breaks

I don’t remember much about Daddy at all

G D G

Said he drove a truck, Momma said he was handsome and tall

G C G

But to me he was never more than just a picture on the wall

G D G

And for my 16th birthday all he could give me was a call

G C G D G

Momma was a looker, that’s what the men would always say

G D G

She must have tried them all out once Daddy went away

G C G

And to me our back door was just some beat up, turning page

G D G

And I just sat there dying inside, there was nothing left to say

C G

And the wheels go ‘round

D G

And the world gets cold

C G D G

And the best that I could hope for is just to die when I get old

C G D Em

And these four walls drive me insane

Sometimes home is where the heart breaks
