Chords

[Verse 1]
F                                C
Been spending my days with faces I won't meet twice

G                                             Am
Names I can't pronounce, cigarettes and cheap red wine

F                      C
A long ways from home, I feel it under my skin

G                                Am
All these miles, and places that I've been
[Verse 2]
F                      C
Bunk beds switching up about twice a week

G                              Am
Someone laughing in a language I'm still learning to speak

F                        C
Maps folded wrong at the bottom of my bag

G                             Am
Everyday feels like something I unpack
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I keep learning pieces of who I might be

C
In borrowred rooms and temporary sleep

G
Every goodbye feels unfinished and planned

Am
Like a sentence I don't quite understand
[Chorus]
F                               C
Cause I'm a long way from home, learning who I am

G                                  Am
Reading all the signs like they're drawn in the sand

F                       C
Every towns a place I'm trying to read

G                        Am
But it's showing me more than I need

F                               C
Yeah, I'm a long way from home, sleeping where I land

G                              Am
Living off the moments and the kindness of friends

F                               C
These temporary places slippin' right through my hands

G                         Am
Still teaching me exactly who I am
[Verse 3]
F                       C
Kitchen light flickers, it's four in the morning

G                         Am
Someone plays guitar like they're trying to be honest

F                            C
We talk about love like it's somewhere else

G                          Am
Like it's not disappearing the moment that we left
[Verse 4]
F                        C
There's temporary people pounding in my head

G                       Am
From one shared room to another borrowed bed

F                       C
I don't sleep enough to know what I mean

G                      Am
Just long enough to be someone else's dream
[Bridge]
F
I'm not lost, I just haven't decided

C
If I'm running away or stuck inside it

G
Maybe home is a feeling, not land

Am
Something you carry, not somewhere you stand
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I keep learning pieces of who I might be

C
In borrowed rooms and temporary sleep

G
Every goodbye feels unfinished and planned

Am
Like a sentence I don't quite understand
[Chorus]
F                               C
Cause I'm a long way from home, but I'm closer than before

G                       Am
I don't need the answer nailed to the door

F                   C
Every face I forget leaves something behind

G                      Am
A quieter voice in the back of my mind

F                    C
If I ever find home, it'll know where I've been

G                     Am
In the spaces between strangers and friends

F                       C
These temporary places, written in the sand

G                         Am
Still teaching me exactly who I am
