E F#m G#m A

[Verse 1]

     E
If I woke up one morning with my memory gone
    F#m
I'd pick out some clothes and I'd put 'em on
        G#m
And I'd walk down the street, and find a cafe
        A
And I'd order a Guinness, and I'd sit there all day

         E
And some kids would come in and start a fuss
      F#m
About how great their weekend in New Orleans was
         G#m
Then I'd look down and smile like their tale was my own
       A
I'd be drowning in memory, and then I would know

       E
How it used to be in summer, so many years ago
        F#m
When we really didn't worry, or care to know
G#m
Where we would be, or how old we had grown
         A
Then I'd open my eyes and I know I was


[Chorus]

E                    F#m
Home, where my friends are
          G#m                   A
Even when I'm not, I wish you were here


[Verse 2]

E
Then it would rain, like it sometimes does
    F#m
And if we were bored, it wouldn't bother us
          G#m
We'd just get in the car and drive through the night
       A
And be lost in East Texas, but no one would mind

            E
'Cause we'd find our way home like we always do
F#m
Funny how the time flies in our youth
         G#m
But with darkness approaching, we will all grow close
       A
In the place we'll call Heaven but for now, we'll just call it


[Chorus]

E                    F#m
Home, where my friends are
          G#m                   A
Even when I'm not, I wish you were here
                E
I'll see you at home

F#m G#m A
