[Intro]

[Verse]
EMy name ain't Asomeone they would EknowA  
But, EI lived here, Anot that long a EgoA  
She Etold me that she Aloved this little-framed EhouseA  
So I Esaved up some money, Aand put a payment Edown
ARight over there in that front porch swing
We held hands, and we dreamed a dream or Etwo
That Asure looks like the same ol' door
Where I kissed her goodbye, a thousand times before
EPlease... Abring her back to Eme
Came C#mlookin' for a Bfeelin' but the feelin's Agone
You can go F#mback
But you can't go Ehome
A E A
I Ewonder if they'd mind, if I Awondered around, in EsideA  
I'm Efeelin' kinda low, and it's Abeen such a long, long EtimeA  
I'd like to Eget a good look at what Aour life used to EbeA  
But, there's Eone bedroom, AI can't bear to Esee
ARight over there in that front porch swing
We held hands, and we dreamed a dream or Etwo
That Asure looks like the same ol' door
Where I kissed her goodbye, a thousand times before
EPlease... Abring her back to Eme
Came C#mlookin' for a Bfeelin' but the feelin's Agone
You can go F#mback
But you can't go Ehome
AHome is Ewhere it started
AHome is Ewhere the heart is
AHome is Ewhere I lost it
AHome, is so hard to find a EgainB  
ARight over there in that front porch swing
We held hands, and we dreamed a dream or Etwo
Underneath the moon
That Asure looks like the same ol' door
Where I kissed her goodbye, a thousand times before
EPlease... Abring her back to Eme
Came C#mlookin' for a Bfeelin' but the feelin's Agone
You can go F#mback
But you can't go EhomeA  
You can go F#mback
BBut you can't go Ehome

[Intro]

E A E A

[Verse]

E A E A

My name ain't someone they would know

E A E A

But, I lived here, not that long a go

E A E A

She told me that she loved this little-framed house

E A E

So I saved up some money, and put a payment down

Right over there in that front porch swing

We held hands, and we dreamed a dream or two

That sure looks like the same ol' door

Where I kissed her goodbye, a thousand times before

E A E

Please... bring her back to me

C#m B A

Came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone

F#m

You can go back

But you can't go home

A E A

E A E A

I wonder if they'd mind, if I wondered around, in side

E A E A

I'm feelin' kinda low, and it's been such a long, long time

E A E A

I'd like to get a good look at what our life used to be

E A E

But, there's one bedroom, I can't bear to see

Right over there in that front porch swing

We held hands, and we dreamed a dream or two

That sure looks like the same ol' door

Where I kissed her goodbye, a thousand times before

E A E

Please... bring her back to me

C#m B A

Came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone

F#m

You can go back

But you can't go home

A E

Home is where it started

A E

Home is where the heart is

A E

Home is where I lost it

A E B

Home, is so hard to find a gain

Right over there in that front porch swing

We held hands, and we dreamed a dream or two

Underneath the moon

That sure looks like the same ol' door

Where I kissed her goodbye, a thousand times before

E A E

Please... bring her back to me

C#m B A

Came lookin' for a feelin' but the feelin's gone

F#m

You can go back

E A

But you can't go home

F#m

You can go back

B E

But you can't go home

[Outro]
