D Dmaj7
I had to leave
     D7
to see
 B        Em     Emaj7
How good I had it,
  Em7
I had it
A          D Dmaj7
I had to go 
    D7
to know
 B         Em    Emaj7
How good I had it
             Em7          A
Would you have me if I come back home?


[Verse 1]
                          D
My mama said when I was six years old
Dmaj7                           D7
I would always sit up by the window
B                        Em
I would always say this city way too cold
Emaj7                           Em7
Wish there was another place i could go
                A
She would ask where and I would say


[Pre-Chorus]
D                         Dmaj7
Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I'm scared
        D7                       B
If I'm here then I'll never see paradise
Em                        Em7 A
I just wanna see paradise


[Chorus]
            D Dmaj7
I had to leave
     D7
to see
 B        Em     Emaj7
How good I had it,
  Em7
I had it
A          D Dmaj7
I had to go 
    D7
to know
 B         Em    Emaj7
How good I had it
             Em7          A
Would you have me if I come back home?


[Verse 2]
D                  Dmaj7
Yeah, I was datin' D for three years
D7                               B
Then I broke a promise 'cause I had to go to college
Em
Thinkin' 'bout my tomorrows
Emaj7
Then I met a Brina
          Em7                               A
But of course I had to leave her 'cause the grass is always greener
        D                        Dmaj7
'Cause theoretically she gave me everything i need
    D7                          B
But for whatever reason I ain't never feel like me
  Em                                    Emaj7
I looked her in the eyes and said, "My heart isn't in it"
Em7                                         A
She looked me in the eyes and said, "Where is it?"

And I said


[Pre-Chorus]
N.C
Where, anywhere, tell me where 'cause I'm scared

If I'm here then I'll never see paradise

I just wanna see paradise


[Chorus]
            D Dmaj7
I had to leave
     D7
to see
 B        Em     Emaj7
How good I had it,
  Em7
I had it
A          D Dmaj7
I had to go 
    D7
to know
 B         Em    Emaj7
How good I had it
             Em7          A
Would you have me if I come back home?


[Bridge]
        D                            Dmaj7
Nothing better than my mama rice and beans
        D7                               B
All the sound, the people yellin' on the street
     Em                     Emaj7
The lights when I land at JFK
          Em7                       A
The cold wind when it hits me in my face
  D                              Dmaj7
I only feel the ground under my feet when
D7                                 B
Jazzy standin' right there next to me and
          Em                          Emaj7
Those the things that make me feel at home
    Em7
And that's the only paradise I know, so


[Chorus]

I had to leave to see

How good I have it, I have it
         D  Dmaj7
I had to go---
   D7   B
to know---
Em         Emaj7
How good I have it (How good I have it)
Em7               A
I have it (So I'm comin' home)


[Outro]
D                                      Dmaj7
Nothing better than my mama's rice and beans

(Ooh, ooh, I'm comin' home)
        D7                                B
All the sound, the people yellin' on the street
    Em                      Emaj7
The lights when I land at JFK

(Oh, I'm comin' home)
         Em7                        A
The cold wind when it hits me in my face
  D                             Dmaj7
I only feel the ground under my feet when
D7                                 B
Jazzy standin' right there next to me and

(Yeah, I'm gon' come back home)
         Em                    Emaj7
Those the things that make me feel at home
    Em7                         A
And that's the only paradise I know, so

(I'm comin' home)
