E               E7
Rain is falling down my cheek
A                 Am7
Searching for the sea
  F#               Fmaj7
Tomorrow, like the rain
             E
I'll be back home again

[Verse 2]
E            E7
I watch, the bus
      A            Am7
As it pulls out of view
F#                Fmaj7
Someday like that bus
          E
I will be leaving too

[Bridge]

But you know
             A
It breaks my heart
N.C.          A
To leave you, Camelback
        E
My high school

[Verse 3]
E         E7
And now, alone
A            Am7
Crying in my beer
      F#                   Fmaj7
Cause old friends said goodbye
                E
I guess I'll be leaving too

[Bridge]
        G#m
But you know
             A
It breaks my heart
N.C.             A
To leave you, Cortez
Continues after the ad
          E
I'll miss you
      A           B
Yes I will, yes I will
           E
You know I will
      A           B

You know I will
