A tBmear in founCdationCm  
One stGare

Brand new motivCation
A sCmiren's invAdimitationG  
[Pre-Chorus 1]
In a place that feels like homeBm  
I've been spending time on my ownC  
But if this is home, then please expCmlain to me
Why I feel out of touchG  
I'm a little bit focuslessBm  
When I should be doing my bestC  
To re-calibrate the hole in my sCmoul
That wants this a Adimlittle too muchG  
[Chorus]
Temptation got me
A tBmaste of sweet umami
ToCngue tied, gladly in line
Just waAdimiting for the stuffG  
If I can reach it
DiBmsregard the regret
HCide behind the other side
Who knAdimows that it'll never be enGouBmgh, oh CnoCm  
EGnouBmgh, oh nCoCm  Adim

BetrCmayed a new dirAdimectionG  
[Pre-Chorus 2]
In a place that feels like shameBm  
I've been holding on to this painC  
But if this is pain, then please explCmain to me
Why I keep going backG  
I'm a little bit focuslessBm  
When I look to this for successC  
And expect the emptiness to make wCmay
And fulfill whateAdimver I lackG

[Intro]

G Bm C Cm

G Bm C Cm Adim

[Verse 1]

It's a snare

Bm C Cm

A tear in foundation

One stare

I'm there

Brand new motivation

Cm Adim G

A siren's invitation

[Pre-Chorus 1]

In a place that feels like home

I've been spending time on my own

But if this is home, then please explain to me

Why I feel out of touch

I'm a little bit focusless

When I should be doing my best

To re-calibrate the hole in my soul

Adim G

That wants this a little too much

[Chorus]

Temptation got me

A taste of sweet umami

Tongue tied, gladly in line

Adim G

Just waiting for the stuff

If I can reach it

Disregard the regret

Hide behind the other side

Adim G Bm C Cm

Who knows that it'll never be enough, oh no

G Bm C Cm Adim

Enough, oh no

[Verse 2]

G Bm

I paid, delayed

C Cm

My progression

G Bm

Threw display away

To chase obsession

Cm Adim G

Betrayed a new direction

[Pre-Chorus 2]

In a place that feels like shame

I've been holding on to this pain

But if this is pain, then please explain to me

Why I keep going back

I'm a little bit focusless

When I look to this for success

And expect the emptiness to make way

Adim G

And fulfill whatever I lack

[Chorus]

Temptation got me

A taste of sweet umami

Tongue tied, gladly in line

Just waiting for the stuff

If I can reach it

The year is gone but I am not

Bm C Cm Adim

It seems my rope was longer than I thought

But was it worth

Bm C

The price of admission to get the meal

Was my past worth this future and the way it feels

Bm C

Did this indulgence reach what I intend to do

Cm Adim

Or did I just bite off more than I can chew

In a place that feels like home

I've been spending time on my own

But if this is home, then please explain to me why
