[F] [G]
I think I'm gonna stay home, have myself a home life, [F]
[G] sitting in the slow mo, listening
to the daylight.
[F]
[C] I am [F] not a nomad, I am not a rocket man.
I was born a house [G] guy, by the [C] slide of my [G] mother's hand.
I think I'm gonna stay home.
[C] I want to live in the city where I was [G] a girl.
I want to live on the [C] side of the square.
[G] I used to be in Miami, but you'll see me now.
You'll never find me cause my [C] name is in that [F] home life.
[Bb]
Been holding out for a home life, my [G] home life.
[F] I want a CD and a game.
[G] [F] I want to learn a last [C] name.
[F] Finish on a Friday.
[G] Sitting in traffic [C] on [F] the [G] highway.
See I refuse to [F] believe
[G] [C] that my life's gonna [F] be [G]
just some string of incompletes.
Never [F] to lead me to [G] anything [C] remotely close to [Bb] my home life.
Been holding out for a home life, my [G] home life.
[C]
[G] I [Eb] can tell you this much, [Bb] I will marry this once.
And if it doesn't work out, give her half of my stuff.
It's [G] fine with me.
We [Am] said eternity.
[Bb] And I will go to my grave with the life that I gave.
Not just [F] a [Bb] melody line on the radio wave.
It [G]
dissipates.
It soon [Am]
evaporates.
The [Cm] whole life doesn't change.
[G] I [C] want to live in the city where I [G] was a girl.
I want to live on the side of the square.
I'd love to walk to where we both can talk.
But I've got to leave here because my ride is here.
In my [Eb]
home life.
You take [Bb] the home life.
You keep [Eb] the home life.
I'll come back for [D] the home life I promised.
Home life I [G] promised. Life.
