[Intro]

C G F

x 2

[Verse 1]

I feel a change in the weather,

I feel a change in me,

The days are getting shorter and the birds begin to leave,

Even me, yes, yes, y'all,

Who has been so long alone,

I'm headed home, Headed home

C G F

[Verse 2]

The nights are getting colder now,

The air is getting crisp,

I first tasted the universe on a night like this,

A box of wine, an alibi,

and the hunger in her eyes,

In a place where the tree of good and evil still resides,

C G F

Still resides

[Chorus]

Homecoming,

G F

Homecoming, homecoming,

[Verse 3]

She said "show me what you got, babe,

I'm not like other girls",

Just give me your bad self

And a place for us to make a stand and I can move the world

Lift the valley from the floor, honey,

Litle town into the sky,

They'll say that it's a miracle and you'll know damn well they're right,

C G F

Damn well they're right

[Chorus]

Homecoming,

G F

Homecoming, homecoming,

Homecoming,

G F

Homecoming, homecoming,

[Verse 4]

When the oracle spoke to me she was like a roadside song,

G F

Do unto others as you would have them do,

Even if in turn they do you wrong,

This town right here's my everything,

Though I've been torn away,

It has my heart, It has my heart,

Be still my heart, My heart will stay,

G F

My heart will stay, My heart will stay,

C G F

x 2

[Verse 5]

F G

Get just a little bit higher,

Get a little tongue tied,

Gonna try to find whatever ever ever made time,

That kind of immemorial,

That time before the fall,

That time before the autumn

Really turned the corner

Drive east of Eden,

'Till we start to feel the west,

You were never far from nowhere,

F Am

You could see it from the edge of town,

Honey, baby, wonder how it feel now,

Am G

Somehow I can't believe that it could feel like before, but,

[Verse 6]

The air's getting colder now,

The nights are getting crisp,

G F

I first tasted the universe on a night like this,

An alibi, a box of wine,

And the hunger in your eyes,

G F

In a place where the tree of good and evil still resides,

[Chorus]

Homecoming,

G F

Homecoming, homecoming, (Homecoming)

Homecoming,

G F

Homecoming, homecoming, (Homecoming)

Homecoming,

G F

Homecoming, homecoming, (Don't go away now)

Homecoming, (Don't go away now)

G F

Homecoming, homecoming...

Homecoming, (Don't go away now)

G F

Homecoming, homecoming...
