[Verse 1]
C         G
Red brick and bamboo towers

Am               F
Line the skyline with much power

C           G
Yellow cars and smoggy skies

Am                   F
With neon lights that attract your eyes
[Bridge]
C
Hong Kong is moving around you

G
You can't help but stand there in awe

Am
Hong Kong is moving without you

F
But you can't help and drop your jaw
[Chorus]
C
A home away from home

G
Yet, oh, so far away

Am
Been years since I've been back

F
And my memories will slowly fade away

C                G           Am   F C* G*
My memories will slowly fade away
[Verse 2]
C*               G*
Late nights were alright

Am*             F*
And dim sum was always fun

C*              G*
Big family with too much food

Am*          F*
Oh, just eat more and don't be rude
[Bridge]
C
Your family is living without you

G
All the way across the sea

Am
Your family is moving without you

F
No matter how much you plea
[Chorus]
C
A home away from home

G
Yet, oh, so far away

Am
Been years since I've been back

F
And my memories will slowly fade away

C                G           Am   F C* G*
My memories will slowly fade away
[Verse 3]
Am           C            F
I don't know when I'll be back

Am             C        F
It feels like i'm losing track of time

   Am            C        F
My memories they feel so vivid

    Am      C        F
Yet so much time has passed

C
You're missing a piece of yourself

G
You left it behind you there

Am
You're missing a piece of yourself

F
Don't it feel so unfair
[Outro]
C
That your family is living without you

G
All the way across the sea

Am
Your family is moving without you

F
No matter how much you plea

Am     G             C       F
maybe one day you'll see them again

Am     G              C
maybe one day you'll see
