Verse 1
      Em    D/F#  G
I was so insatiable
         Am          G           D
'Til the lights came on and the stories got old
            Em      D/F#    G
Now there's no one here, I know
          Am      G             D       
And the city outside's not the same anymore
 
 
Pre-Chorus 1
     G     D          Em
And I, I remember when we were young
           G     D           Em
We'd write  our names in the sand
            G            D             Em
So carelessly,  then the rain came and yours was gone
            G           D   Em
And now mine  it stands  alone
 
 
Pre-Chorus (quietly)
C      D        G         N.C.     C
Nobody sees me, now I'm a one man show
     D
I'll do this on my own
C          D        G           N.C.    C
We knew it all then now this is all I know
      N.C.
Guess I'm heading home now
 
 
Chorus
Em                 C G
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh       ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Em                         Am
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Guess I'm heading home now
Em                 C G
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh       ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Em                         Am
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Guess I'm heading home now
 
 
Verse 2
          Em    D/F#    G
When the music always played
         Am           G             D
With the sound of our lives and the sweetest escape
         Em       D/F#        G
And the neighbors would complain
         Am          G          D       
We would turn it up louder, who cares anyway?
 
 
Pre-Chorus 2
          G       D           Em
'Cause we, we remembered that we were young
          G       D           Em
Our lives, were grains in the sand
        G           D        Em
That we, made up castles and kingdoms of
         G          D        Em
Now the waves have torn them down
 
 
Chorus
C      D        G         N.C.     C
Nobody sees me, now I'm a one man show
Em                 C  G
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh       ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Em                         Am
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Guess I'm heading home now
Em                 C  G
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh       ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Em                         Am
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Guess I'm heading home now
 
Bridge
Bm      D   Em
You’ll find me
Em   Bm  Am
I’ll be here
Bm D  Em
I can see
Em Bm  Am
I can breathe, anymore
 
Verse 3
     G        D        G
But how could we have stayed?
        Am       G           D
You were high on love, I was drunk
N.C.
Drunk on the pain
 
Chorus
Em                 D/F# G
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh       ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Em                         Am
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Guess I'm heading home now
Em                 D/F# G
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh       ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Em                         Am
  (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Guess I'm heading home now
