How To Return Home

 Em                            C
Your bare feet sliding on the old 
wooden floorboards
  G                  D
Home just as you left it but still 
you're shaken
  Em                  C           
Like walking into a museum somehow
            A
 out of time
  Em                          C
It's all the same except the girl in
 the hallway
  G                   D
Where she's been and who she will 
ripen into
  Em                           C  
Your childhood's on the other side
              A              D
 of a sprawling divide too wide

[Chorus]
 Em
Take a silent breath
              C
Hold in the change
               G
Tell yourself you still live here
D                 Em
Take your bags upstairs
         C                    G
It's the only way youâll get through
 today
D
Count the hours
 Em
Take a shower
A               Eb   Eb Em  C  
Wash yourself awa-------y
 G   D


[Verse 2]
Em                              C
The house is pulsing with an alien 
heartbeat
 G            D
Was it always here but you never 
listened?

Em                          C    
It's calling you to be the girl 
              A               D
that you were way back then again

[Chorus 2]
 Em
Take a silent breath
              C
Hold in the change
               G
Tell yourself you still live here
D                  Em
Take your bags upstairs
      C                          G
Put away your clothes, take it nice 
and slow
D
Be their daughter
Em
Nothingâs harder
A
When nobody knows
